I’ve been compiling a list of playwriting resources for playwrights and theatricians. Here’s a list of twenty-four so far. I’m always looking to expand this resource, so if you have any favorites, please post a link in the comments!

My Monthly Career Check-in For November 2023
This past month’s been pretty intense. Between designing lights for two productions back-to-back (plus doing electrical work on a third), lining up multiple new partnerships for The StageCrafts for 2024, plus a hosting a group of writers on long weekend up in the mountains, I’ve been going pretty hard. In fact, things are getting so complicated and changing so rapidly, I’ve had to figure out a new organization system to keep track of everything.

Back from the Theatre Unleashed Writers’ Den Spring 2023 Writing Retreat
Just got back to LA after spending another lovely weekend up in Pine Mountain Club. I love our quarterly Theatre Unleashed Writers’ Den Writing Retreats. It’s so nice to get out of town for a few days, leave all of our normal routine concerns behind, and focus exclusively on creation.

Self-Producing: Playwrights & Actors, Why DIY Can Be the Best waY
As a playwright, I’ve struggled with landing production opportunities for my new plays the traditional way. So I taught myself the art of self-producing.
Encore! Encore! $h!+heads and 25 Plays Per Hour are winners!
Well, we’ve survived another Hollywood Fringe. I mean, barely. But we survived. This year’s festival was one of the most stressful I’ve ever experienced as a venue manager. However, as an actor, a producer, a designer, and a playwright, it was a complete success!
Catch me in $h!+heads by Chambers Stevens, and my words in 25 Plays Per Hour presented by Theatre Unleashed!
I’m thrilled to be a part of this year’s festival not only as a designer, playwright, and venue manager, but also as a performer! That’s right, ya boy’s performing in a show this year, and I’m super stoked for you to come and see it!
