I was lucky enough to see the play opening weekend, and if I'm being completely honest, it's my favorite production of any of my work—a true spectacle that hits home and makes you feel like you're part of the show in the most unique way possible. I hope you can catch it.

We run until November 1st. Click here for tickets, and EPIC thanks to the entire production team: cast, crew, and all. This one's been special!

I'm over the moon to announce that, in just a month, my play KAIJU is having its world premiere at The Road Theatre! This comes after it being part of the company's annual Summer Playwrights Festival last year.

The show is being directed by Ken Sawyer, assistant directed and sound designed by Ryan McRee (who helmed the 2025 workshop), has a KILLER cast and production team, and, most exciting of all, is being produced as the inaugural recipient of the Southern California World Premiere Play Initiative—a new partnership where a major presenting organization joins with an intimate SoCal theatre to bring more new work to the Los Angeles area. In our case, the presenting organization is the excellent Broadstage.

We've got a pretty incredible spectacle, not to mention some other surprises, in store for our audience, so I don't want to say too much more. But if you're in the L.A. area, consider checking out what's truly going to be a wild night of theatre. It runs September 25th through November 1st (with previews starting on September 22nd), and you can get tickets here. I'll be there opening weekend. Come out and say hi!

Big thanks to The Road, Broadstage, and everyone involved for making this happen. This play truly takes a village...even if it's one that'll get stomped on by a couple of giant monsters!

This weekend, my short play "Duckass" will be playing at StageWorks NJ!

Produced as part of their One-Act Jamboree, it's being directed by Mead Winters and will run in rep with nine other plays. Showtimes are at Friday, July 24th, at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, January 25th, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, January 26th, at 2 p.m. All shows are at Studio 237 (237 Hamburg Turnpike) in Pompton Lakes, NJ. Click here for tickets.

I unfortunately can't be there, but I hope some of you are able to make it. Big thanks to StageWorks for producing my work. I'm so grateful that "Duckass" has continued to have such a productive life!

Back in 2023, my collaborators Dina Vovsi, Jens Rasmussen, and I created River Watchers—a play that took place on a moving 14-person canoe in Brooklyn's Newtown Creek. Produced by The Motor Company and written with support by NYSCA, Brooklyn Arts Council, NYC Cultural Affairs, and The Puffin Foundation, the play was an immersive adventure for the audience that drew from the creek's real-life history.

We've since dreamed of making more canoe plays for different American waterways, and a couple weeks ago, it finally happened! Dina, Jens, and I were invited to Tofte Lake Center in northeastern Minnesota to create another immersive story on the water. Over the course of a week, we wrote, paddled, and socialized with others as part of the Artist Educators Residency, ending the week with a brand-new play created just for (and about!) Tofte Lake. We were honored to present it for our fellow residents and some wonderful folks from the nearby Ely community. 

We're immensely grateful to Liz Engelman, Nicole Selmer, and the best canine dramaturg around, Jai, for bringing us to Tofte and giving us the space to create. We're also keeping them in our hearts and minds this week as the area deals with a truly awful chain of wildfires. We're excited for TLC to open back up, and hopefully to return in the future to expand our play and further enjoy what is truly one of the most magical places on Earth!

My play Universal Monsters has been enjoying multiple semi-finalist statuses this spring! Namely with the O'Neill National Playwrights Conference, Echo Theater Company's New Play Competition, and most notably, Premiere Stages' New Play Festival, where, alongside 64 other Semi-Finalists, it was chosen from nearly 900 submissions.

It's always nice to receive recognition for your work, so I really appreciate all of these festivals taking the time to consider mine. You can read more about Universal Monsters over at the New Play Exchange. Hopefully I'll have some more news to share about it soon!

I'm excited and grateful to announce that my short play "Forest Bride" is being published by Methuen Drama/Bloomsbury Publishing in the upcoming anthology The Future Is Short: Contemporary Plays for High School and College Students!

I wrote this piece while in graduate school at UT Austin back in 2020 as part of the HIVE program. The brainchild of Mitchell Thomas at Westmont College, HIVE pairs undergraduate Westmont directors with graduate-student playwrights from across the country to develop new work in a bakeoff-style format. "Forest Bride" is my riff on the Bigfoot mythos, and will be published alongside other selected HIVE plays from over the years, many of them penned by my friends and colleagues.

Seeing as the collection was curated by Mitchell and Liz Engelman, and has glowing blurbs from Lynn Nottage, Naomi Izuka, David Henry Hwang, Kirk Lynn, and Steven Dietz, it's a true honor to be included. And as an added bonus, Bloomsbury is now the home for my nonfiction book Radiohead FAQ. 

The Future Is Short comes out September 3rd, and you can read all about it—and preorder it--here!

It's time! The residency for my play The Tusk Hunters is upon us!

I've spent the past two weeks rehearsing/devising/creating at the cell's beautiful Chelsea performance space with director Dina Vovsi, puppet director Betsy Rosen, and an ace team of actors and puppeteers (Savidu Geevaratne, Aaaron Haskell, Nick Lehane, Erik Lochtefeld, Jens Rasmussen, and Eric Wright). We now have the beginnings of a full-scale woolly mammoth puppet that we're showcasing this Tuesday, February 10th, at 7 p.m. (338 W 2rd St) We'll be sharing some excerpts from the play, accompanied by several puppetry demonstrations.

Huge amounts of gratitude to Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre, who have proven to be absolute dream collaborators and facilitators. And big thanks to New York State Council on the Arts, who generously awarded us a $10,000 grant that's helped make this a reality. 

RSVP here to attend the showing, and get a sneak peak of our progress below!

I'm over the moon to announce that, after six productions and numerous workshops and readings, my play The Amphibians ​has been licensed by Gitelman & Good Publishers! Dedicated to licensing meaningful, resonant scripts for colleges and high-schools, G&G truly understands the mission of the play and its goal of creating two complex and complicated roles for younger performers.

With that in mind, I've made two versions of the script available: the unedited, standard version and a high-school version that omits some of the stronger language. Interested in producing the play at your own school or theatre company? Just head on over to The Amphibians licensing page.  

Enormous thanks to Jason Sebacher and the whole team over at Gitelman & Good for the interest and dedication. Let's make some magic!

This week, St. Lawrence University's production of my play The Amphibians is headed to the American College Theatre Festival! As an invited production, it'll have two performances at Region 1's 58th annual conference.

The shows will be on Wednesday, January 28th, at Siena University—3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Click here for registration and more information on the festival. To be honest, I never got to bring any work to ACTF as an undergrad or grad student, so it's an honor to see The Amphibians performed there. If you're in the Albany area, check it out (I wish I could be there myself)!

Big thanks to the entire ACTF team and especially SLU for continuing to take such good care of my work. I also have some other big Amphibians ​news coming soon, so stay tuned!

This week, I'm at it again with my friends at The Workshop Theater for their annual Out of the Hat Festival (my third)! As always, 52 playwrights were each randomly paired with two actors. We then write a short play for them centered around a specific word. This year's word is "tomorrow."

I got connected with the wonderful David Pincus and Liz Passero. The script I wrote is called "Gouting" and deals with parenting and political assassinations. We perform Wednesday, December 3rd, at 7 p.m. Tickets and other info can be found here, with a new program of short plays each night. All performances are at the Episcopal Actors Guild (1 East 29th Street, NYC).

Thanks, as always, to The Workshop for having me, and hope to see you there!
