Coffee House(Original)

Coffee House was the fourth play I submitted to YPF, and the second that was accepted. It was performed in 2011. This is the version that was approved and subsequently handed out to the actors and director, it is substantially different than the version that made it to the stage. 

The Restaurant of Broken Dreams

One of two plays I submitted to Walden Theatre's 2012 Young Playwright's Festival. This one didn't make it in, even though it's one of my personal favorites. It is based off a conversation that was overheard in a Burger King.

I Am Not Dr. House

Contrary to what most people who think they know me believe, I am not a big fan of House.

Yes, I have memorized many episodes of House and know the plot and characters extremely well but the same is true of the entire Terminator series, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and many others. It's just a habit. Ironic that I memorized movies but completely fail to memorize school material, not that any of that matters now, though.

After just a few minutes with people, most will either accuse me of trying to act like House or simply being very similar to House. Truth is I only started watching House until maybe the 6,000th person pointed this out and I decided to see what everyone was talking about rather just dispense bile the way I usually do. This was in 2010 I believe, since I remembered that House had been airing its sixth season.

Shadow of Fear

Shadow of Fear was originally written as the prologue to my book, at the time titled The Quest of Gondlring, due to recent paradigm shifts in the way I've been writing my books, it may or not appear as a flashback at some point in one of the books. It's posted here as a novelty.

Lauriel

My first play -Lauriel- written in 2008, is a modernized adaptation of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. It was my first produced play. J.C wrote a beautiful piece of music for it, which can be found on his personal blog. UPDATE: JC linked to where the song can be dl'd in his post below. Thanks!


Byronic Hero Passes Before His Time

Time of death: Thursday, Frebruary 9th, 2012, 7:32 AM

It seems House never recovered from its awful seventh season. One of the last episodes of season one, maybe one of the best, was titled "Three Stories" and another episode in season seven was called "Two Stories". This doesn't this doesn't even begin to describe House's decline. The show has gone from 'slightly silly' to 'farce'. Two episodes were spent with pointless and weird imitations of popular movies and other TV shows. In one scene, Dr. House takes his entire team for a ride in a monster truck in the middle of the city - it was basically a Benny Hill sketch without the music.
