Quick Sample

Last night, in a hot, cramped, sweltering apartment in Ocean Beach, I finally got to do the reading of Salt Water Cajuns (formerly, Our Mother, Staten Island), with a group of fantastic actors.

I now have a new direction to go with it and TJ and the cast gave me some interesting ideas to chew on. At first it felt like another shot in the dark at making the story work, stretching for emotion, plot, and character all at once. But a lot of the actors really liked it, many saying that when it goes up they want to audition for it.

They have hope that it will go up -- better than I do at the moment.

Speaking of actors and this play, there was a man who went by the title of Bowser back in New York and who would occasionally read and act in pieces in the dramatic writing department. In fact, he was one of the first people to read the part of "Sean" in my play.

Where is he now? Wait until about 45 seconds into this clip to find out. I've never seen him do anything like this before.

If you want to see more -- and god knows, I wasn't expecting to -- the whole episode is on Hulu. At least one of us is making it big.
