Reviews: Farewell To Eden

1.22.10

My play Farewell To Eden, which has its closing performances this Friday, Saturday (matinee and evening, and Monday) at the Provo Theatre (105 East, 100 North in Provo), has been getting some good press. As some shameless self promotion and a plug for the closing performances, I wanted to share a couple of the positive reviews.
First, [...]

My 2009 Mormon Literature Wish List

12.07.09

For those of you keeping track: this year I read sixty-eight books (if you don’t include the Calvin and Hobbes and Fox Trot compilations I skim while brushing my teeth and the countless picture books I’ve read my kiddos) and twenty-four of them were Mormon–not quite as many as last year and not enough of [...]

 Scott Bronson has been a strong presence in Mormon Drama for a few decades nows, the pinnacle of his work being his drama _Stones_ (which tells two intimate stories about Abraham and Isacc, and then Christ and his mother Mary). He has tirelessly advocated the cause of Mormon Drama. With Thom Duncan, he started the glorious (but now dead and gone) Nauvoo Theatrical [...]
