Another Play Published!

I just want to brag about having another play published through Next Stage Press!  The play, Alcohol and Muscle, was originally produced last year as part of the Blinn College 3rd Annual 10-Minute Play Festival.  It was directed by Dustin Randolph, as well as stage managed by Aiden McAllister.  Jennifer Patrick served as costume designer, Kevin Patrick served as technical director, and the cast included Jayden Peavy, Steve Torres, Jr., and Josiah Fernandez.

Synopsis:  On a summer night in 1979, a man picks up a male street hustler at a bus station in Houston, Texas, and they go to a motel that caters to the prostitutes that work in the area.  As the evening wears on, the hustler learns that he may be a pawn in a very dangerous game.  A game orchestrated by a man named Jeffrey Dahmer.

After completing basic training in the US Army, Dahmer completed his Advanced Individual Training in San Antonio, Texas.  While no known killings happened during Dahmer’s stint in The Lone Star State, this edgy docudrama depicts a possible chance meeting of the man known as the "Milwaukee Monster" and a male prostitute bearing a resemblance to Dahmer’s first murder victim.
