Find me on Amazon!

March 12, 2020

Now, amongst the millions of things you can find on Amazon ( chicken walking harness or Cheeto-dust finger protectors, anyone?), you can find ME!

Amazon has updated the listing for Steven Dietz: Four Plays for Family Audiences to reflect the authors of contributions made to the anthology’s forward, including my autobiographical essay about Steven. It was an honor to be asked to write this, as well as a bit of literary kismet: when I was an undergraduate I wrote a one act play which was selected as the winner of a student play competition that Steven created! I even got a lovely hand-written note of congratulation, which I still have.

I highly recommend these plays, but you can also read my essay on the UT Press website by clicking “Excerpts.”

Directing Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT

October 14, 2019

I’m pleased to be guest directing a cast of 19 (!!!) graduate and undergraduate student actors at West Virginia University. Twelfth Night is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays and we’re having a blast exploring the humor and heart of this early comedy. Links to a couple of articles about the project and process are below!
