		<title>Requiescat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t want to write these words so soon. My mother passed away this week. It was both sudden and not. The last few weeks were like living inside an episode of House&#8211;the first sign something was wrong presented like a minor stroke, but wasn&#8217;t. Keeping her for observation, they began to suspect several things, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Writing-By-Numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, let me point you to Gwydion Suilebhan&#8217;s blog post about numerology and bad theatre. It&#8217;s okay. I can wait. After reading his post, I would beg to differ on the potential significance of dates and numbers. Last month, my son&#8217;s sixth birthday was 10/10/10, which was the coolest thing ever in his eyes. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hope you guess my name.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An unnamed journalist in a warzone. A friendly translator in his homeland. Together, they cover the story of a lifetime. That&#8217;s the story of A Report of Gunfire boiled down to the essentials. It&#8217;s a script I wrote for the 2008 Capital Fringe Festival, developed from a ten-minute short from the 2006 Louisville Playwrights Festival. [...]]]></description>

		<title>One moment to feel your warmth.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is marketing artwork from Te Dua, a play by Jennifer Wills from a true story developed by Adale O&#8217;Brien, which won the Forth Freedom Playwriting Award at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in 2001. It&#8217;s the true story of two people on different sides of the conflict in Sarajevo, told (in this [...]]]></description>

		<title>A word about art.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seth Godin has a pretty simple definition of art. I happen to think his definition is too simple. Godin states that his definition of art has three elements. Let&#8217;s take them one by one. 1. Art is made by a human being. Unless it&#8217;s not. Is the art in an Ansel Adams photograph the photo [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Title&#8217;s a Spoiler.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Picking up on the theme of making merry of Mamet, here&#8217;s scene seven from my play The Rough Guide to the Underworld, featuring a more specific parody. It&#8217;s set in a bar in the Underworld, the Tenth Circle&#8230; Sexual Perversity Inferno The play itself started life as a series of monologues, then expanded into a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Repetitive Christmas Tunes.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here’s a lyric I wrote four years ago for my wife, who hates a certain Christmas song by Paul McCartney. There&#8217;s not much to explain about this process, except for a wonderful discovery while writing. In the bridge sections of the song, I threw in a joke about John Lennon&#8217;s Happy Xmas (War is Over) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nightdogs.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is one of my favorite pieces, bar none. Years ago, when I was still doing their marketing designs, the Hanover College Theatre put on a revue of sketches, short plays and songs under the banner title, &#8220;I Have to Say I Love You.&#8221; The only caveat for the artwork: don&#8217;t use hearts, don&#8217;t do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Colors on the snowy linen land.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In late 2008, Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, Georgia, commissioned a play about Vincent van Gogh. Their one request was that it should include at least part of one of Vincent&#8217;s sermons from when he was briefly a clergyman. I&#8217;d already had an idea for a story of van Gogh, using the letters and story [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shakespeareal Perversity.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a piece written on a dare to share with some folks in the Boston area who are well acquainted with David Mamet. There was a good reason why it involved Othello, but that reason has been lost to the sands of time. Sexual Perversity and Iago All I know is, if it weren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
