Songs from the Stage

On Friday, February 7th, join me and lyricist Holly Richards for Songs from the Stage!  Holly and I are both members of LineStorm Playwrights.  She writes musicals and I write opera!  So when the opportunity came for us to share some of our work in the Portland-wide Fertile Ground Festival, we decided to get together.  This will be a fun hour-long concert (give or take) with songs and numbers from several of our works.  Hope to see you there!

LineStorm Playwrights, in association with Chapel Theatre, present

Readings of Dorothy's Dictionary in Florida and Oregon!

Dorothy's Dictionary is my newest play!  It's a big-hearted two-hander about an angry teenage boy who is forced to do community service after a violent incident at his high school.  But reading to ailing librarian Dorothy changes both of their lives in ways they couldn't have imagined.
