I started research today for a play involving Shakespearean actors in the Old West.

February 29, 2012
"Irish Tales: The Bones That Came To Visit" was put in the mail today for Matchbox Children's Theatre. Will they like my work two years in a row? I'm crossing my fingers.

I got the go-ahead on the reading date for "Sleeper." It will be March 31, at Rochester Repertory Theatre.

Now that "Flounder" is over, I can concentrate on finishing "Irish Tales: The Bones That Came To Visit. It's another play for young audiences.

This was the final public performance of "The Magic Flounder," followed by a question-answer session with the cast and audience. I had a great time!

February 11, 2012
Today I met with the Board of Directors of Rochester Repertory Theatre to request a date for a reading of my play, "Sleeper." Immediately after that I traveled to Mantorville to judge a Poetry Out Loud regional competition.

Today was the first student performance of "The Magic Flounder" at the Paramount Theatre in Austin. The theatre can seat 650, and it was packed! I was dumbfounded!

January 22, 2012
The opening of "The Magic Flounder" is coming closer. I can hardly wait.

January 15, 2012
Finally! "The Mostly Complete History of Pine Island, 1854-1917 is done."
