Jumping in June

In early June I’m writing 1 page plays for $2 a pop for the conceptual market street art gathering, The Cries of San Francisco on the 4th of June. As the Scribbler, I'll solicit starting lines from passers-by, and write a one-page play for the laughable sum of $2. Chalk this up to the age-old artistic principle of: "getting noticed and paid to do what you're already doing anyway".

For training, I've begun the free Fast15 playwriting exercise on my Ignacio Onstage fanpage. Chalk it up to the age-old mercantile tradition of: "the first hit's always free."

Later this June...



Mid June I’m traveling to NYC for 9 days to see a couple of shorts I have in a couple of festivals.

I'm seeing Passenger at the Kraine and The Fellowship at Native Aliens.

Passnger runs in Program 4 of Endtimes: 6/10 at 8, 6/16 at 6:30, 6/20 at 8:30, 6/25 at 3:30, 6/28 at 6:30, 7/1 at 8, and 7/3 at 6

Finally, closer to year's end:


Bindlestiff reopens in SF and features a one-act I wrote for their writing workshop – that one-act might also be featured at a fundraiser for ACPA in Oakland on June 19th.

Fast15 Playwriting Challenge!

Rules of Playfulness:
1 • You come to this page and Like it.
1A • existing fans may send referrals to Like the page, and in return, get to suggest a prop, an action, or a setting that I have to incorporate into the new fan's play.
2 • You (the new fan) post your opening line of dialogue on this wall, w/ or w/o a character name.
3 • I title each play after you.
4 • I write the next 14 lines, in real time, in the comments beneath your opening line.
5 • We put responses at the end of each play, starting at line 16 and onwards.
6 • We tell others to steal this and try it themselves.
7 • FAST15 GO!!!
