America Again Again Again Again

We’ve just wrapped our fourth workshop devising what will become America Again, the next project I am leading with Lightning Rod Special supported by Creative Capital. I’m hoping to get some photos and video from the workshop together to better represent the project here on my website. This project will likely premiere at the end fo 2027.

Tomorrow, I head into rehearsals for Marsha Blovotnick and the Marvelous Magical Chicken Soup by Dan Kitrosser.

I’m also hard at work putting together a tour of Foriegner with the hopes to take it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival come August.

Creative Capital

I’m back from Thailand with some great news: I’m a Creative Capital Awardee!

This is a prestigious and extremely competitive (50 winning projects out of ~5000 applications) national arts grant, and I’m very proud of everything it's taken to get to this point. Feel free to contact me if you want to chat about grant writing (I think I've gotten much better at this in the last two years) and all the unseen labor (rejections) it takes to get lucky. This award will support the development of America Again, the next project I am leading with Lightning Rod Special.

I'm also excited to announce that March will be my return to scripted acting. I'll be acting in a scripted work for the first time in a long time playing the Nephew in Marsha Blovotnick and the Marvelous Magical Chicken Soup by Dan Kitrosser.

Thailand

Super Compassionate was excellent. Audiences had a lot of enthusiastic feedback and Sohrab, Ben, and I got a lot of good information. Perhaps a Philadelphia Fringe 2026 8 hour version? But that’s for later.

For now, I’m headed to Thailand for the next two weeks on my belated honeymoon! Happy 2026!
