My wonderful girlfriend Bekah wrote a pilot that helped land her a new job on a very cool show.
This is that pilot. I'll be reading one of the parts.
In addition to Bekah, there will be very many talented people involved.
You should totally come.
Staged Reading
Upcoming Show - FPLA Staged Reading
I'm in this! If watching new works get on their feet is your thing, come check out Fresh Produce'd. They put on a palatable mix of 20 minute excerpts from different plays each month, and quite frequently turn those into full productions!
What's Up - PPF at South Coast Rep

I went to this - Pacific Playwrights Festival at South Coast Rep.
All of this is made possible to me through the hard work and good graces of my wonderful girlfriend Bekah, who has a play being read at the festival.
It's about heaven and is called 'Going to A Place Where You Already Are'. The audience laughed heartily and softly cried about dying and the afterlife, which - for such a touchy subject - doesn't seem like an easy thing to do. It asks a big question, all while wrapped in a big blanket of optimism, and is peppered with sneak attacks of humor.
Another favorite was 'Vietgone', by Qui Nyugen. This is a hilarious love story told with a modern voice about refugees in the US after the Vietnam war. It turns Americans into stock stereotypes, has a Mortal Kombat slow motion fight, and uses hip hop verses for cathartic moments.
Plays can be so good, and they're where I started out, so all this has made me want to jump back in.
On that note - coming up soon I'll be performing in an FPLA staged reading on May 19th.
