I'm an associate professor of playwriting in MU's Department of Theatre, where I teach playwriting, theatre history, theory, and dramatic literature. I serve as Artistic Director of the Missouri Playwrights Workshop which is part of the MU Writing For Performance Program.
Here's my CV and my Bio.
I currently serve as the Region V Chair for the National Playwriting Program of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival and am resident playwright with First Run Theatre, Inc. in St. Louis. I'm the author of Off-Off-Broadway Explosion (Back Stage Books, 2003), which is a book about the 1960s Off-Off-Broadway movement, and the regional alternative theatre movement of today.
You can find my short play Beshert in Michael Wright's excellent book on playwriting--Playwriting Master Class (Heinemann, 2000), as well as my ideas on dreamwork for playwriting, which is one of my major areas of interest. Gary Garrison also included another short play of mine, Perfect Hair, in his terrific book on ten-minute plays, Perfect Ten (Heinemann, 2001). I'm busy at work on a book about Richard Barr, the producer of Edward Albee's plays, and a text on dreamwork for playwrights. My current creative projects include a William & Bettie: A Civil War Romance, Wallace's Line, a play about a Kansas Science teacher, and a comedy about blended families, entitled House Blend.
