Nine Lives
I know that it's been a while since posting but sometimes life gets in the way- family stuff, work stuff (or lack there of), stuff stuff. I decided on posting "Nine Lives" for a few reasons. 1) After an overnight trip to Las Vegas to take care of my mom I returned home to find the cat nearly...

In Spirit
Mortality has been on my mind lately. Parents getting older. Memories of friends who died too soon. So many commercials about increasing insurance so that funeral costs are down for survivors. There seems to be a sense a dread around death. A fear of the unknown- the idea of not knowing what's on...

Breakdown
I believe we all at one time or another reach a point when thinks just shutdown. It could be financial or emotional or physical- something happens and for a moment there is a BREAKDOWN. This blog and podcast is about an actress who reaches a point in her career where she concludes that all that...

About Face(Book)
I had just turned 50. I don't know what is it about birthdays, especially benchmark birthdays (21, 30, 40 etc) but there is somehow an expectation for that birthday. My 50 had me reflecting about old friends and wondering where they were and what they were doing. So I joined Facebook. Simply...

Empress Niger
"Empress Niger" is an old piece I originally wrote for a couple of friends/students when I was a Forensics coach in Los Angeles. When I first started doing radio plays I naturally went to old material as a source for the productions- just to get my feet wet as it were. The original inspiration…

Collections
No way of getting around it- it's tax time again. So here is a one of the first shows recorded for Pagliacci's Fools- "Collections". We were all new to the live recordings and for some folks it was the first time doing a radio play. But it was fun and a great learning experience. Listen to the…

Hissing
The mind can play tricks on one. Shadows can become phantoms. Raindrops on the roof- drum beats signaling the thunder to cry out. A writer finds himself in Reno, Nevada. In Reno a quarter- a mere 25 cents- leads to an evening of whispers, taunts and a slight madness. Is he playing the machine or…

The Adventures of Yes Man and Eunuch Boy in "The Diabolical Divas"
Yes Man and Eunuch Boy have had some formidable foes but more devious than Pussy Willow and her daughters Katrina/Kitrina. Katrina/Kitrina, the world's only Siamese twin opera singers, are giving a concert in The City. But while arias fill the air a plot to steal Cleopatra's Leopard is set into...

A Christmas Memory
"A Christmas Memory" is one of my favorite holiday stories. Written by Truman Capote, the story is of a unique friendship between a boy and his childlike older cousin. At this time of year it is not uncommon to reflect back on happier times and comparing them to the life we live now. Some…

Instant Radio
I know it's been a while since I last posted but I've been in the middle of a big move from Oakland to Los Angeles. Here's some advice: when renting a truck don't believe the specs when they say a 10' truck is perfect for a 1 bedroom. It's like the measurements on your coffee maker carafe: it may...

Remembrance
Day of the Dead. I've always enjoyed the Day of the Dead. The idea of honoring loved ones who had died seemed right in some way. Not forgotten but always present. This has become more apparent as I have gotten older. I am of a generation that was hit hard by death due to the AIDS pandemic. My...

"The War That Never Was"- Alan Lipton Part 2
This is the second post of the Alan Lipton series. I have to say, I am very impressed with Alan. I think that he is very talented but I didn't know how far his passion for creativity went. I recently went to hear him perform (sing) in Berkeley. Despite it being fairly hot, in BERKELEY, and the...

"Death and Taxidermy"- Alan Lipton Part Uno
Alan Lipton is a writer/musician/character living in the San Francisco Bay Area. We met when I was doing Pagliacci's Fools. He was a writer. I was looking for writers. Perfect fit. One day in brought me this short piece, "Death and Taxidermy". I fell in love with the piece right away and wanted…

Razor's Edge
Kim Nicolini. That's a name you should have heard of before now. Kim Nicolini is one of the most talented individuals I know. A mother, poet, artist, photographer- a Renaissance Woman. You should know her name and her work. Kim and I worked together in Concord California back in the early 1990s....

WOYZECK
woyzeck. Woyzeck. WOYZECK. There's something about this play that has stayed with me for over thirty years. I first read the play in 1979 when I was a student in England. There's something haunting and sad about this play. I can't shake it. Perhaps it's because it was written by Georg Buchner who...

I'm Going Back Home
I went to my first Family Reunion in 1996. I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't sure what to expect. Growing up an only child living on the west coast, I knew very little about my fraternal family members who make the Mid-West and South their homes. Arriving in St. Louis on that hot August...

The Potion
It's said to be careful for what you wish for because you might just get it. Let's face it- we all wish/ pray/chant/mediate for a new job or a fine romance or more money (mmmm-more money) but there is a certain responsibility that comes with getting what we desire. "The Potion" looks at one…
