COOKIE PLAY premiere in Chicago
Trap Door Theatre of Chicago opens COOKIE PLAY January 8. Morning in America grows dark as Homeland Security invades the heartland, in this comic dystopian all-too-close world. January 8 – February 14, 2015. Directed by Kate Hendrickson. Featuring: Lyndsay Rose Kane, Chris Popio, Mike Steele, Gage Wallace, & Carl Wisniewski. In Cookie Play, a mother from the heartland, fearing her son may be the next Edward Snowden, agrees to hold him captive in her basement to save both son and country. What happens next upends everyone’s moral equilibrium in this twisted, offbeat satire.

This month: Love in the Seventh Kingdom of Wrath
I'm ecstatic and proud to be collaborating with New York City's dynamic and new theatre company FRANK on my new play that explores the joy, anger, fear and sorrow in the life of Caravaggio: Love in the Seventh Kingdom of Wrath. In this bravado love story, the painter Caravaggio stumbles through prayer and barroom brawls confronting flesh, desire, and a threatening chorus of angels. FRANK's ensemble creates a dangerous, lustful world of images, song and movement for the play about an artist, his model, and their wrathful secrets.
