POETRY

Hope Is A Four-Letter Word, a spoken-word poem I wrote about Barack Obama’s candidacy, published online in Illinois Issues, a publication of the University of Illinois at Springfield.

FICTION

Spinet, published online in Six Sentences.

NONFICTION

For download, On The Chorus – a short article which I wrote for a director who was asking me to explain my theatrical chorus methodology.

PLAYS

You can download the most recent draft of 13 WAYS OF LOOKING AT THE CHORUS. If you have thoughts on it, I’d love to know what they are. Please note that the script is cobbled together, like a mosaic, a quilt, a collage, or a hot mess, from the copyrighted and unattributed texts of various different playwrights – naturally if the project were to move forward, I would secure the rights from them for use. Since that hasn’t happened yet, don’t do anything illegal, folks. Thanks.
