2011 began with a reading of The Distant Bells at The Roundabout Theater in NYC, starring Chita Rivera, Ana Gasteyer, Rachel York, Christopher Sieber, James Snyder, Jason Tam and Andy Mientus. (Check out the playbill.com article here. )
A short time later I partnered with director Sheryl Kaller (Next Fall, Tony Award nomination) to develop Sundogs. Sheryl and I conducted a developmental reading of the play in September 2011 with the help of actors Keith Powell, Mike Doyle, Michael Arden, Jenn Gambatese, and Peter Albrink. (Stay tuned for much more on Sundogs in 2012!)
Amidst all this, I completed two TV spec scripts and outlined three original TV pilots. As the year ends, I begin work on The Defiant Pyramids of Gaza, Illinois as well as another new original musical, The Third Act.
