UPCOMING & ONGOING

The biggest current news: I asked the beautiful and brilliant Karen Dill to marry me, and she said "yes!"

And if you think that's cool, wait for this: back in July a talented group of actors and I presented a unique one-time-only performance of a short play I wrote called "Over Here" ...a play which was, believe it or not, part of a social-psychology study conducted by Karen. The "Over Here" experiment explored something she and I are both quite passionate about: the relationship between media and the behavior of media consumers...

Well. The experiment was such a success that now we've both been invited to the conference of the International Society for Research in Aggression to talk about what we did, and the even cooler part is that the conference is in Luxembourg.

So we're off on a romantic trip to Europe! We won't be getting married until sometime later (long story) -- but as Karen wisely observed: "Life is short. Take the honeymoon first."

Meanwhile -- in late May I'll get to do THE WAR OF THE WORLDS radio show again! I love putting this show on and will do it whenever there's an audience interested in the experience. My actor buddies and I will perform the show at the Alabama Phoenix Festival (May 25-27, 2012) -- who have very kindly put a page promoting the show here -- check it out ...

RECENT

In mid-March I gave the first performance of the play I wrote for the good folks at Vulcan Park and Museum. The commission was to write a new show that would be some kind of dramatic exploration of the life and/or works of novelist Walker Percy. Once I started studying WP's works I was totally awestruck by the man's brilliance, and quite intimidated by the prospect of presenting those ideas onstage! But judging by the audience's response, it went quite well after all...

This year my son and I resurrected the blog we started about our favorite TV series, and despite our busy-busy schedules, we do occasionally post things there! So if you're a fan of DOCTOR WHO, do please subscribe to The Krillitane Chronicle. The more people looking in, the more likely we are to keep posting ...
