DGI Certificate

On my way to achieving a playwriting certificate with the Dramatists Guild Institute, I am taking a Core Skills workshop with playwright and writing coach Andrea Lepcio.

Honorable Mention

The Punch Bowl Bumpoff is a humorous satire of the 30s crime genre.  This full-length piece won Honorable Mention in the play/TV/script category at the 88th Writers Digest awards.  No easy feat as there are zillions of entries.

REVISIONISM or Tyranny of the Offended

My controversial short play Revisionism or Tyranny of the Offended was part of a play reading last night at the 353 Studios before an enthusiastic audience.  The talented group is part of the Julia & Friends company aka G-Squared Productions aka Genoveva Productions.

Gary Garrison Dramatists Guild Workshop

With an enthusiastic pic like this - need I say 

                                                            more???  

As Director of the DGI, Gary's Writers Lab workshop invited professional actors to read our scripts and guest directors & dramaturgs to critique them.  My 80-minute piece The Star Seekers was bitten into, masticated and regurgitated in this incredible production facsimile workshop.  

Crafting Characters with Sheri

Just finished a Dramatists Guild Institute writing workshop (Crafting Character) with the wonderful instructor, Sheri Wilner.  Did extensive character analysis on my new play Silver Horizons or how I learned to love black holes.  

As an established playwriting teacher, Sheri's plays have been published in over a dozen anthologies, many of which have received over 400 productions across the US, Australia, Denmark, Ireland, Japan, UK.  Her playwriting awards include a Howard Foundation Fellowship, Bush Artist Fellowship and 2 Jerome Fellowships.  Whew!
