I’ve come a long way since I took up writing in 2011 to amuse myself. I started as a monthly columnist for Night Beat magazine, then rolled over to critic and columnist for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, I’m now a critic and columnist for EatMoreArt!Vegas.com, and a freelance contributor to Devoid Magazine, a literary journal. And, of course, I continue to work on novels and stage plays.
My 10-minute play Fusion turned award-winning short film is in the permanent collection at the 9-11 Memorial in New York City for exhibition. The stage version will continue to run in various cities as part of In the Wake of Life, An Immersive Experience a project about death and grief, or the aftermath of a significant life event.
My latest play, Last Confession, a full-length drama, earned an Honorable mention in New York City’s New Works of Merit, and was named Finalist in both the International Play Competition NYC and Carlo Annoni International Play Competition. My debut two-act comedy, Phallusies, premiered in Las Vegas, Nevada to good reviews, receiving Las Vegas City Life’s “Pick of the Week,” and played to sold-out houses across the country.
What qualifies me to be a critic? Over 30 years of theatrical experience having produced and directed, both as an avocation and professionally, winning numerous awards along the way for plays as diverse as Master Class, Something’s Afoot, Biloxi Blues, and Accomplice. My work garnered a nomination for the Nevada Governor’s Arts Awards for Leadership in the Arts and as a finalist for Leadership in the Arts with the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce .
