We're in the middle of the run of Long Ago & Far Away, and it's going quite well. (Last night's Tree of Blood performance was head and shoulders above the last four performances, in fact. And Repeating History is proving to be one of the audience favorites.) ...

This'll be quick because it's late and I'm tired. I've been helping out with ushering and the box office/concessions booth for New Play Project's production of Swallow the Sun. You know, box office is a lot of fun. And I didn't even expect to like it as ...
I'm not doing such a good job at updating this frequently, am I. Lately I've been in more of a design mood than a writing mood, with the current project on the burner being our ward directory. I used the old look for a solid year, and while ...
