I Need Your Suggestions!

I have currently written two plays about famous Hollywood murders.  One play about the murder of Hollywood legend Ramon Navarro, and another play about the murder of Sal Mineo.  I'm about to begin working on a play regarding the murders orchestrated by Charles Manson.  When I'm done, I will have three short plays with Hollywood murder as the theme.  I'm thinking of putting all of these plays into an anthology, and I need a really good title.  I've toyed with "Hollywood Murders," but I would like something more interesting.  Something to really get people's attention.  Please submit your suggestions to me!  Suggestions that will make someone want to pick up my anthology and read it!

Thanks, in advance, for you help!

Historical Mutilations/Arti Doll

I'm thrilled to announce that one of my plays, Historical Mutilations, will be produced this summer by Theatre Off the Square in Weatherford, Texas.  Along with Mike Byham's play, Arti Doll, my play will be produced on June 7-9, 2024, as both plays were winners of the 2023 New Works Contest.  I am so excited that such a prestigious venue as Theatre Off the Square will be producing one of my shows! Historical Mutilations is about the murder of Gary Hinman.  A hippie renaissance figure in the 1960s, as well as the Manson Family's "forgotten victim," Hinman was found dead in his home on Old Topanga Canyon Road eight days before Sharon Tate and four others were found murdered at Tate's Cielo Drive residence.  My play, a biodrama, depicts a possible conversation that Hinman and cult-leader Charles Manson may have had prior to Hinman's murder.  In doing so, Manson compares what is happening to Hinman to famous mutilations of the past, specifically the self-mutil

Stage Plays for Super Bowl Sunday!

  With the Super Bowl being played tonight, I thought it'd be cool to look up some plays and musicals that focus on one of American's greatest pastimes. *All American:   Written by Mel Brooks, with music by Lee Adams and Charles Strouse, this musical-farce is set on the campus of a fictional Southern Baptist university.  When the techniques of an engineering instructor result in a winning football team, the professor finds him-self surrounded by people that want to exploit his fame.  The show opened on March 19, 1962, at the Winter Garden Theatre, and it starred Ray Bolger of Wizard of Oz fame. *Colossal:   Written by Andrew Hinderaker and set on a college football field in Texas, this poignant work is about a star football player that finds it difficult to move on from a crippling spinal cord injury.  In doing so, the play celebrates and attacks football; our nation's most popular form of theatre.  The show opened at the Olney Theater in Olney, Maryland in September of 20

Murder on Old Topanga Canyon Road

 I haven't shared my good news on social media yet, so hear goes!  One of my plays, Historical Mutilations, will be produced this summer by Theatre Off the Square in Weatherford, Texas.  Along with Mike Byham's play, Arti Doll, my play will be produced on June 7-9, 2024.  Both plays were winners of the 2023 New Works Contest, and I am thrilled that such a prestigious venue as Theatre Off the Square will be taking on this project!
