1st Opera Preview at Electric Lodge

2009-06-24T14:22:00.000-07:00

The very first taste of ONE DAY LESS was performed by Emily Hayes, soprano and David Javelosa, composer stepping in as the male lead, June 1. We got a 10minute shot in Venice CA at MAX10 - a performance lab - with a few props, a couple of masks, David's electronics and Peter Ludwig's improv cello. It went well, good feedback, more auditions coming and lots of work this summer, hoping for a full concert performance this Fall.

GRUMMEL is Back!

2007-01-23T15:18:00.000-08:00

My 7 Grummie stories are being re-issued by SHOOFLY, an audio "magazine" for kids 3-7 years old. Grummel is wonderful, of course, and is there with all his puppy pals, chipmunks, beavers et.al. but the "magazine" also contains other delightful stories plus songs and poems. See details on the SHOOFLY website:

www.Shooflyaudio.com

2006-12-01T14:59:00.000-08:00

ESC! MAGAZINE is serializing my novella "LAURA HANSON" - please take a look at the link below.

Since I'm primarily a poet and wrote LAURA more than 10 years ago, I'm both excited and anxious about the serialization. At first I thought the story line wouldbe a bit dated, but unfortunately, it isn't. Do take a look at this "social-realism" piece, inspired by director Vittorio De Sica. Any and all comments welcome.
