Anniversary message from a proud Playwright-in-Residence of the Bishop Arts Theatre Center.

Four years, three productions, & how many events later I can only look back in gratitude for all my time with Bishop Arts Theatre Center.

So excited for this one.

First up at the South Texas College Theatre’s 4th Annual New Play Festival:

Miriam’s Song by Robert Paul Moreira and directed by Justin Lee Ozuna.

Can’t wait!

Did that really happen?

Could it be possible to have experienced such creativity and joy?

With the @valdeztheatreconf.bsky.social the answer is a resounding yes.

Thank you. Truly.

Let’s do it again sometime.

What an honor that my two monologues DO YOU KNOW WHY MOCKINGBIRDS SING AT NIGHT? & HAPPINESS IS THE MOMENT BEFORE DEATH were presented here at the @valdeztheatreconf.bsky.social Monologue Workshop.

Thank you David Haynes and Jameka Laché Horton for choosing my two monologues and interpreting them.

Thank you @valdeztheatreconf.bsky.social for the opportunity to hear Happy Together here at the conference. It was amazing and the feedback was tremendous.

My heart is full today. So very full.

My friend Philip Middleton Williams captured this pic of me performing in a reading here at the Valdez Theatre Conference.

…

I look healthier.

Still a long way to go. So, so very long to go.

But I look healthier.

…

10:00 pm in Valdez, AK.

Wow…just wow.

Tonight’s show, BLANCHE STUART SCOTT by Kristen Ritter here at Valdez Civic Center!

Thanks @valdeztheatreconf.bsky.social for the invite!!

Taken just before midnight in Valdez, AK.

I never dreamed I’d see the light and blue skies when it’s supposed to be darkest.

…

What a world. What revelations come when you wait.

Got the most wonderful gift yesterday when I found out that my little short piece PARENTAL QUESTIONS was selected for presentation then beautifully interpreted by Madison Dooley at the Valdez Fringe!

So happy to share more work here at the @valdeztheatreconf.bsky.social!

Last week I got to live another dream when I completed my residency at @newharmonyproject.bsky.social with my family.

The last few weeks have been nothing short of special. I will cherish the memories I created and am creating always.

Making a dream come true at long last.

I’m finally getting the honor of attending the Valdez Theatre Conference.

I am so grateful and in awe of what has been a surreal and beautiful year.

Let’s conjure up some theatre magic now.

What do you think?

Maybe let’s see if we can be funny and repay one of the oldest life debts of your existence.

Maybe see where it can go.

Maybe embrace the journey.

Maybe see that tomorrow just might hold some promise.

New script soon. Not how you expect. But new script soon.

Epilogue:

Thank you for these flowers and the wonderful card Rodrigo Caraveo commemorating the closing of A DALLAS HEDDA.

I was about ready to break down crying receiving them.

I will cherish this kindness always.

Blackout.

End of play.

Thank you A Dallas Hedda Team.

Thank you @bishopartstheatre.bsky.social

Thank you everyone.

More thoughts soon.

It has been an honor.

To have made this show, to weather the storm of government defunding, and see closing matinee?

What a dream.

It’s honor to be an artist in these times.

Come if you can. Starts at 3:00 pm. Would be honored to have you there. Link to tix in the comments.
