Year End 2013

The blog continues to exist, in a reduced form, as I write here a bit less all the time. Still, I'm glad to have it, just in case I want to complain about something. Or promote something. Or show you a picture of a dragon.

2013 was a solid year.

Why We Left Brooklyn played to many sold out houses, with a terrific cast. Reviews were sort of all over the place, but mostly positive, and audiences definitely enjoyed it. Or were made to feel very bad by it. A win-win.

Matthew Trumbull's The Zebra Shirt of Lonely Children was extremely well-received at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, and I'm proud of my contributions to it, and to Kyle's work on it, too.

Plus, When Is A Clock got cover art and a little write up (by me) in Samuel French's Mystery Month offerings.

And The Metaphor was published by Smith & Kraus.

All good. But, of course, much more to come!

Onwards!

Theater coverage continues to decline

Read her to find out just how little theater coverage the LA Times thinks is appropriate these days.

Who or what is to blame for this awful trend?
