For the least several decades, I have been involved in a wide variety of projects involving the written word. Versatility coupled with a passionate interest and knowledge in people and places is my strong suit. As a playwright, I have have been produced off-off Bway in equity approved productions. My original drama for TV, Chameleon, was produced in 1978 at the Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference. I have a strong working knowledge of theatre, film and TV, having worked as a Commercial Casting Director as well as heading up the Young People's Acting Division in the 1970's of the Weist Barron School of Television. I also during the same period wrote an acting handbook for the school as well as brochure copy and print ads for a local print agency. Writing independently for Our Town, a weekly NYC newspaper, I have developed personality profiles and reviewed non-fiction journals and books, and most recently, at Show Business Weekly, reviewed a number of off-Bway offerings. I am currently at work on a noir screenplay and a collection of fictional stories based on my travel experiences. My passion for travel has taken me to Greece (a three-month sojourn in the Cycladic Islands), Mexico, particularly the Mayan culture of the Yucatan and various places on the Baja peninusula, London's theater scene in the UK, Paris and the Bordeaux region of France, Portugal, Andalusian Spain, including Granada, Seville, Cordoba, and Cadiz, as well as Madrid, Tangier, Morocco, and just this past year, Vancouver and a seven-day inside passage to Alaska on the Holland America Line's Volendaam. That trip was accompanied by a train trek from Vancouver to Toronto, with a happy stopover in Jasper National Park. Frequent visits to Montreal at all times of the year have been a real joy, and an abiding love of cross-country skiing has taken me into the Laurentians for not only the exercise but incomparable food and wine tastings. I could be considered an inveterate arm-chair traveler as well, delving into the biographies and fictions of a multitude of writers and journalists. In May of this year, I had my first show of acrylic paintings at the Seti Gallery in Kent, CT. In addition, I have done a number of press releases for this relatively new gallery, helping them to establish a strong community presence among local papers. A continued interest in all aspects of the arts has served me well, and though born and raised in Southern California, as a resident of Manhattan for over thirty odd years, I understand the pulse of big city life. I guess you could say I am insatiably curious about many subjects that color our lives and the commonalities we share with a diverse global culture. If I were a cat, I would surely be using up my tenth life by now.
