Well, now that the dissertation is in the can, I figured that it would be good to get out more, so I started knocking on doors at Bay area theaters and sending out directing resumes. And opportunity has knocked back, in the form of San Francisco's
Custom Made Theater Company. They have asked me to direct the play
Stories Left To Tell, a play created from the posthumous writings of Spalding Gray at the instigation of Gray's widow. The script is terrific and I am really looking forward to working on with a group of fantastic actors. It opens in late January. Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more!
