I am currently directing the next production of the
Dayton Theatre Guild's
2024/2025 season, Campaigns Inc., a dark political comedy by
native Daytonian
Will Alan*.
Will is a professional actor and playwright, once residing in Chicago,
having appeared on the Steppenwolf
& Goodman stages,
as well as others, and is still a company member at
Timeline Theatre Company
in Chicago, though he is now centered in L.A.
This show is a season extra, and is not part of the standard
season ticket package, but season package buyers can purchased it
as an add-on at a discount from the single-ticket price.
The show is running two weekends, Oct 11‐20, 2024.

Dayton Theatre Guild:
- I am designing sound for three of the remaining shows,
and I'm collaborating on another, for this current 24/25 season:
- Campaigns Inc., by Will Alan,
which I am also directing (showing Oct 11-20, 2024)
- The Woman in Black, Adapted by Stephen Mallatratt, by Susan Hill,
directed by David Shough, and for whom I am collaborating
on sound (showing Nov 29-Dec 15, 2024)
- The Minutes, by Tracey Letts,
which I am producing and Melissa Ertsgaard is directing
(running Jan 31-Feb 16, 2025)
- Chancers, by Robert Massey,
which Marjorie Strader is directing (showing Mar 28-Apr 13, 2025)
Beavercreek Community Theatre
in the 2024/2025 season.
- Just as I suspected would happen, Doug Lloyd has asked me
to lend my original sound design from the DTG production of
The Sugar Witch,
by Nathan Sanders,
which we mounted in 2010, for the BCT mounting that runs Oct
15-Nov 3. I have all the sound files still in my library,
though there is no
Show Cue Systems
project file because we hadn't implemented it yet when DTG did
the show, so I will be programming from scratch..
Dayton Playhouse
in the 2024/2025 season.
- I am on board for two productions this season:
- Almost Maine,
by John Cariani,
which runs Nov 15-24.
- The Cure, by
Alex Dremann,
which won
FutureFest 2024
earlier this summer, and gets a full production that shows
March 14-23, 2025. This one will be an easy gig for two reasons:
1) the script doesn't demand an abundance or a complexity of
sounds; 2) I was the sound designer for FF24 so I already
have the design program file as well as the sound files. all
that will be needed now is any tweaking that might come up,
but the overwhelming bulk of the work is done.

Two collections of music that have been in the can for a while are
on the docket for mastering.
- one is a double album with much electronic, experimental,
and new-age type music on it, which I recorded in the mid 1980s.
- the other is ambient sound, which was recorded several years
ago. This one has been remastered for use in the
Wednesday's Child
production which ran at The Guild, November 3-19, but I'll likely
revisit the remastering before I decide about submitting the
work for release as an album.
Meanwhile, click
here for the official page for my album, Virtually Approximate
Subterfuge, which released in November of 2022.

I currently am working, on and off, on drafts of my
two-act play,
which I've been writing for a while. Draft 5g was submitted to a
new play festival, but was not selected as a finalist. More
submissions will happen. I am now working on draft 7.
Recently I finished a short play that happens in the same universe
as the play above and the novel below. I intended for it to be a
ten-minute play,
but it's running longer than that. At the moment I have no inclination
to cut anything, or at least, not very much.
There's also my novel manuscript, started about twenty years back,
which has had a finished draft for almost as long. And, again, is
in the same universe as the plays mentioned above, but takes place
earlier than either; in one case, over four decades earlier. I
haven't actively worked on it in years, barely at all since I came
back to theatre. I am trying to gear myself up to go back in for some
revision
and polishing.
