Her first staged readings of this script were in April/May 2025 at Baylor University, where she also had a performance of her immersive script, โ€œA Grief Observedโ€. She is extremely grateful to The Valley Players for this opportunity, and would like to thank Stan Denman and Logan Allen for all of their support, guidance, and many Zoom calls that went into creating this newest version of the script.

This Sunday, August 9 at 4pm โ€” An Evening of Shorts, now on the riverside deck!

A facilities issue has taken the Music Room out of commission, so we'll be on the deck behind the Culinary Building instead โ€” canopies, umbrellas, and the river breeze.

๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ Sunday is the last day of the Napa Town & Country Fair right across the street โ€” arrive early, or take a Lyft to the campus entrance.
โ™ฟ The deck is reachable by stairs or wheelchair ramp; message us with any access questions.
โ˜€๏ธ Sunny and 88ยฐ โ€” bring a hat and sunscreen.

See you at 4!

โง At 67, I consider myself an emerging playwright. However, Iโ€™ve been involved in theater since high school. Currently, Iโ€™m the director of a theater company called Silver Lining Players, which is a group dedicated to actors 50 and over. I am also an operatic tenor who has performed with the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, Akron Symphony Chorus, and Cleveland Opera (including an original work by Police drummer Stewart Copeland). In the โ€˜90s, I produced an album for a classical label in tribute to John Cage featuring 22 artists, including Frank Zappa, Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, and many more. In the past few years, Iโ€™ve written 15 plays running the gamut from comedies to political dramas and even a dark musical satire based on the songs of Tom Lehrer. When not busy with these pursuits, I most enjoy spending time with my grandson Benny (whom I wrote into one of these plays!).
