I'm having a free, informal reading of a children's ghost story play I co-wrote with Richard Kuhlman, called "The Gathering" at The Alliance Theater in Burbank, on Wed. Feb 7.
On 11/17, HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" opens the show with a sketch that parodies those horrifically annoying (but brilliantly marketed) ads for "Head On" ("Apply Directly to Forehead" repeated ad infinitum). I'm happy to say the gang at Real Time included me in this fairly outrageous sketch.
I'm proud to say that two of my monologues were selected in the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts "Talk to Me" Monologue Competition. My piece, "Rhythm" was selected as First Place winner, and "Listening to Alarms" came in Third.
I'll be performing them live at the end of the weekend monologue festival held at the Center on Saturday, October 28. The Theatre is located at 4th and Guadelupe in Carmel. The show starts at 7:30 and tickets are $15. For more info or reservations, call 831-624-7491.
HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" welcomes back Connie, my obsequious home shopping network character, on tonight's opening sketch (9/15/06). The show will re-run all week, so if you miss it, don't miss it again!
