Smash Season Three: The Smashening (with Cesario Tirado-Ortiz)
A deeply unauthorized continuing of the events of the television show Smash in straight play form.
“10 years after Tom Levitt and Julia Houston parted ways as creative partners, Julia has finally completed her Great Gatsby adaptation. However, she has been turned into a giant pile of scarves. Tom, feeling he has to see out her vision, reunites the Bombshell crew to bring the show to BROADWAY!”
A play about scarves, and repressed bisexuality, and also overwhelmingly about grief, somehow.
Camelot 3 (Revised Book)
The musical Camelot famously doesn’t work. A gorgeous score with a haphazard book and half-baked arcs. What if it worked, though? What if it was fixed?
Camelot, to me, is a story of inevitability, and fatal flaws. Strip away everything else, every other character, every inciting incident, and these three characters would always find each other, and would always resolve tragically and apart. The story of Camelot, of King Arthur, is one that hurtles break neck towards this tragic end, and could never end any other way. The conclusion need not be forced. If Arthur, Guenevere, and Lancelot exist in the same space and time, this is where they will always wind up.
From Alan Jay Lerner’s original 1960 Camelot book, and with (most of) the songs of the iconic score, I have written a revised book for this classic catastrophe, aiming above all to do this trio of characters that I care for deeply justice.
Bracing for the Wind
What does it mean to be lovable? To be loved? For the B's in my life, all of whom I love dearly.
Hollow
A ten minute play from the Apartment Player's "Seven Stages of Grief" play series delving into Shock. Many thanks to T.S. Eliot, for being in the public domain. Truly a real one.
Curling
Colleges love to do this play, so I keep it around. A ten minute think-piece on gender. Or, it's just about the sport curling. You decide.
At the Tone
Agnes and Alec make some phone calls. Oh, and fall in love and break up in the process.
