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

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.

A Letter To My Past Self
Alright! Finally, the continuation of my post from last week! I promised I’d post my new 10 minute play, “A Letter to My Past Self” on Friday last week, but I forgot that we were dropping a new episode of The RADical Wasteland Podcast that day. So, here we are.
Now I’m Going Home With a Story To Tell
Y’know, running my own event venue, sometimes I feel like a barefoot cobbler. I help everyone else get their shows up, but I don’t get to perform much myself, and if I do, it’s almost always a project I spearheaded myself.

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.
Monthly Career Accountability Group Check-In for February/March 2023
So, I’m part of a Career Accountability Group. Basically, it’s a group of actors that come together monthly to hold themselves and each other accountable to doing the business and career work that is easy to ignore, neglect, or otherwise put off. Each member has a partner in the group, and partners check in with each other weekly. The group meets monthly to discuss our accomplishments for the previous month, share goals for the upcoming month, talk about news, share resources, and ask questions. Honestly, I find it absolutely invaluable.
My DIY No-Stain Washable Fake Blood Recipe!
As anyone who dabbles in theatrical effects knows, cheap stage blood is very unforgiving and will stain your skin and clothes if you look at it the wrong way, whereas most commercially available bottles of “washable fabric-safe fake blood” come in tiny bottles that are prohibitively expensive. So, how do we keep the cleaning budget from ballooning out of control? By making it ourselves using my tried and true, super-sexy, fabric-safe, no-stain washable stage blood recipe, that’s how!
