I stumbled upon this Japanese painter a few weeks back when I was looking for something – some image – to be a sort of a mock-logo for this upcoming performance of SATURDAYS IN THE DARK (until I could create something a little more substantial) and I just fell in love with his work. [...]
Jason’s Birthday Bash this November 7th!!
Long time no post…
Life has been crazy and there has been little time to visit the blog because I’ve been writing new material for this new theatrical series that I’ve been playing with.
Working title for the series is SATURDAYS IN THE DARK. I’ve been imagining it would be a thing…yeah…let’s just call it a [...]

time out NY review…
it’s a surreal moment for this little NYC rookie playwright to have his first Time Out review (as a writer) one page over from an essay on Atom Egoyan (“The Sweet Hereafter”) directing Beckett (“Eh Joe”)…both men factor into why i’m here in the city that never sleeps (unless you’re in my neck of queens) [...]

Patrick Lee’s review at Show Showdown
Thanks to EVERYONE involved in this show for giving it their brilliant best!
Watch out for this woman…
Dana Berger is something else! Her passion and commitment was absolutely stirring last night. And she has found nuance in these characters that I could never write.

Everyone’s scrambling around – doing their brilliant best to get everything in order to open this little show (thank you ALL – You’re all Mike and my Brilliant Best!).
Watching the first preview last night…it’s strange to realize – with all the ado and all the dragging of lights and sound equipment and set [...]
