Not a member of the Dramatists Guild? For heaven’s sake, join!
Great link for finding submission opportunities (not THAT kind of submission, sicko).
Another great gathering of places to submit!
The Virginia Commonwealth University's School of the Arts & Design offers this nifty online seminar. Take most of it with a grain of salt (followed by a slug of tequila), but treasure the "Business" information.
The Small-Cast One-Act Guide Online, Dr. Lewis W. Heniford's labor of love, is a treasure for playwrights. Get your one-acts listed for free! Heniford also lists production/publication opportunities, legal information, and much more.
Theaters and Theatre Links
I met a member of the EATheatre last May in New York - she encouraged me to send them some stuff. Since then, these cats and kittens produced the world premiere of "Job Strikes Back" in November, and they're giving "Curtain Call to Arms" it's New York Debut!
The Geneva Theatre Guild has done staged readings of four of my plays - two of them have been published. COINCIDENCE? More importantly, they're wonderful, warm people who really made me feel welcome.
Ravishing Raymond Harrington has created a massive compendium of Delaware Theatre Information. Soon the disturbingly handsome Greg Robleto will take it over, but it will continue to be the #1 resource for Delaware actors and theatre people.
The Silver Spring Stage is producing "Yes, Mamet" this year. Can't wait to check them out - they cast a woman as Reginald, which is a great idea!
The Lebanon Community Theatre in Lebanon, PA was slick (sick?) enough to select "Something Went Wrong" for their "Night of Mysteries" this summer!
If the world of non-New York professional theatre is a big Quicki-Mart, then the Actors Theatre of Louisville is Apu. Check it out.
I work here! The Wilmington Drama League! And we ROCK!
The City Theater Company of Wilmington, Delaware was the first to produce one of my plays. I love them so much I just want to cuddle them until we all fall asleep together.
Chapel Street Players of Newark, Delaware always does really cool, challenging work. Check them out!
The Sonoma County Repertory Theater has been extremely good to me…I’ve sent them five plays over the years, and they all ended up placing in the top ten…
Brass Tacks Theatre was good enough to give me my first Off-Off-Broadway experience. They’re young and hip and startlingly good-looking…
People You Should Know
You should know Mike Sandler, because he’s a great guy and he built this site…
You oughta know (hey, I just quoted Alanis…isn’t it ironic? Don’tcha think?) Jill Knapp, because she’s a wonderful, genuine, and freakishly talented chick…
Brian Turner is a fantastic songwriter and musician. Get to know him!
I'm proud to call Chris Turner one of my best friends. He's insanely talented, he's a great man, and he has marvelous hair (the bastard).
I played sax on Mary Arden’s local hit “Motivate.” She’s as talented and loveable as they come…
Danny Quinn is a fantastic entertainer and songwriter, and a true friend. By all means go see him perform, it’s quite an experience…
Richard Julian is my current favorite singer/songwriter. He hasn't written a bad song yet. If you get the chance to see this fellow, by all means, drop everything and take it!
I don’t personally know Rich Orloff, but I’ve seen several of his plays, and they are among the funniest I’ve ever seen.
Aoise (“aY-sha”) Stratford is my favorite human being who I've never met face-to-face. She's an awesomely talented writer and an absolutely lovely person. Our plays often play in the same festival - believe me, it's an honor to be in her company. Check it out.
Michael Bettencourt, a playwright from New York, has set up an incredible home page, packed with information, opinions, and the full texts of his many plays.
Who is James Gunn? Well, he wrote my favorite movie (no, not Scooby-Doo. That wasn't his fault), and one of my favorite novels. Visit his terrific site to learn more.
This here's Kristyn Robinson's site. She's a good friend and quite a talented writer/director. Go read her plays!
The long-awaited website of the artist, singer, actor, director, and all-around great guy Greg Robleto is finally live. Greg also runs the Delaware Shakespeare Festival – his site will take you there!
Joe Trainor is a marvelous musician and songwriter - and a genuine friend besides. Plus, the cat's funny. He's a funny cat. And his hair is okay, too, if you like that sort of thing. Hair, I mean.

Knappuccinos is the creation of Jill Knapp. It's a place where songwriters can go play and sing their songs, while people actually sit and listen to them!! Jill Knapp is cooler than Fonzie, folks...
I'm an Urban Legends junkie. This site celebrates and exposes these cautionary myths and hoaxes without sucking all the fun out of them. I'm especially fond of the "Disney" section.
I’m addicted to this stupid site. TROGDOR!!!
Here’s a fun site for bad movie lovers. I have a review published there, and even bought the t-shirt
And my favorite source for bad movies
