I’ve been in Chicago for the SUNDOGS recording of MDQ: A Playwrighting podcast with host Dusty Wilson. The episode is slated to air April 24, 2015!
While there, I reworked first 25 pages of THE THIRD ACT with composer Paul Fujimoto.
Tony Yazbeck’s THE FLOOR ABOVE ME (co-written and co-directed) is returning to 54 Below!
Tony Yazbeck, Jerome Korman, and I have been granted approval by the Harold Arlen estate to develop his song catalogue into a new book stage musical. Stay tuned!
THE FLOOR ABOVE ME, co-written and co-directed with and also starring Tony Yazbeck, premieres at NYC’s preeminent supper club 54 Below, also starring Melinda Sullivan (“So You Think You Can Dance”) and Curtis Holbrook (IF/THEN).
Recording forthcoming!
Elaine Stritch died today. Broadway dimmed its lights and I send out a shout of gratitude. So long, Elaine. And thanks for all the stories!

In addition to doing the Stella by Starlight Benefit and completing principal photography for “My Name Is David,” I have two more exciting updates for you:
I had the great honor to write and attend the Stella by Starlight benefit, honoring stage and television luminaries whom I have long admired.
Here I am with guest of honor, Elaine Stritch.
…and another amazing diva, Liza Minelli.
With George Takei, who was honored that evening with the Harold Clurman Spirit Award
