This production features an amazing cast of North Texas' most talented actors, led by an equally gifted creative team. The play will be performed live, onstage (!) at the Bath House Cultural Center September 9 - October 2, then available for streaming later in the fall. Check out Echo's website for more information.

Melodious messages

“Don’t be boring” is a foundational mandate for public speaking. So why do so many speakers put us to sleep? And how can we make sure we do not?You’ll find answers to these pressing questions in this month’s blog.

Join me for A Very Present Presence
Streaming June 2 - June 16

Pipeline Playwrights presents the Zoom World Premiere of my play A Very Present Presence, directed by Catherine Tripp. This production will be available as video-on-demand from June 2 at 7 pm through June 16 at 7 pm (ET).

A Very Present Presence is a magical comedy that opens as Alice's mid-life crisis is interrupted by a visitation from her long-dead great-aunt. This show has everything: ghosts, time-travel, young love, craven lobbyists, protesting feminists, and tricky family relationships. The Zoom production will feature: Diane Cooper-Gould, Ty Corbin, Erin Denman, and Jennifer Pagnard. 

Tickets for A Very Present Presence are available at www.pipelineplaywrightsboxoffice.org.

I'll be attending the Opening Night Party (June 2), Closing Party (June 16) and Monday night discussions June 7 and 14. Join me. More info on these events is available on Pipeline Playwrights' website!
