My new comedy Uneaten Cantaloupe, which started last Friday, ends this weekend at Provo Theater Company through the New Play Project (the same place and group which put on my play Swallow The Sun, for those of you who were able to attend that). For those who have seen my plays before, you should know that [...]

Founded by James Christensen (rightfully famous for his art of fantasy and his fantastic art) and Doug Stewart (playwright of the groundbreaking Saturday’s Warrior), it’s always one of the [...]
