.@planbtheatreco is doing a table read of my #newplay MESTIZA, OR MIXED today. It’s the most personal thing I’ve written in a while. All but one of the actors are Asian—all but two are Filipino. That’s a first in my career. Also…I’m wicked nervous. #playwrightlife #utahtheatre
The photo on the billboard is from @UtahShakespeare's 2017 production of ROMEO & JULIET. I wrote a rave review of the show for @UtahTheatreBlog.
The Utah #Shakespeare Fest is the first #utahtheatre Equity house to re-open. Curtain rises next month.

If @Hale_Theatre Sandy does not care if they hurt Utah small businesses or kill Utahn's, then we should not let them exist as an organization and business in our community. #utahtheatre
It's really upsetting that @Hale_Theatre in Sandy is allowed the benefits of a non-profit organization and receives support from the state of Utah when they are so blatantly endangering the community. 1/9 #utahtheatre
HOLY SHIT YOUR THEATRE COMPANY’S DOING SEVEN BRIDES? SHREK? NEWSIES?!?!?!!!?!!!?! 🤯...

My #utahtheatre review for @SCERAupdate's SPAMALOT published on @UtahTheatreBlog last night. My wife and I haven't had that much fun in a theater in a LONG time. I'm almost embarrassed by how much I gush like a fanboy in this review.
