I believe live theater will come back after the pandemic passes and I keep writing and studying theater to be ready with new and refined material when it does. WHAT I'M WORKING ON After a recent Julia's Reading Room Zoom reading of my play SAINT UNDER GLASS I am busy rewriting passages with an eye toward future staging. I am also writing the libretto to a chamber piece on Emily Dickinson. KEYWORDS Historical. Current events. Drama. Comedy. Comments are closed.
