This morning I found out that Tree of Blood did indeed get accepted. :) It’ll be produced as part of New Play Project’s Long Ago and Far Away show …
There were enough good submissions to the New Play Project Long Ago and Far Away set that they’ve added an extra round of finals, and my play Tree of Blood …
Sleep deprivation is not a badge of honor. It’s true. The past few days I’ve been running on empty and it’s taking its toll. (Luckily it’s …

6. Loftyisms
This afternoon while manning the box office and concession booth at our matinee of Swallow the Sun, I decided to finally start writing a mission statement for myself. I …
I recently found out that there are videos of several of New Play Project’s latest sets of plays online at Gashler Media. Our latest set, Lost and Found, …
I got back yesterday afternoon from my trip to Cedar City for that archivists’ conference. Fun times. We stayed in the Eccles dorms at SUU, and wow, they …

We had our closing performance of the show — Lost and Found — tonight. The house was more full than it had been for any …
This’ll be short because I don’t have a lot of time. The show opens tonight! I was at the theater for nine hours last night for rehearsals and …
11. Fluid fatigue
I’m tired. :) Life’s pretty busy right now with the show and all (and we’re going to try selling some scripts to see if there’s any market for them, …
12. Lost and found
New Play Project’s Lost & Found show opens this week, featuring seven short plays on religious themes, and it’s going to be good. :) Yes, yes, I’m biased …

Great post by Robert Starling (via Gideon Burton) on Mormon Renaissance yesterday, called High Expectations for Mormon Filmmakers. This part was particularly inspiring:

14. Script frenzying
So, I’m doing Script Frenzy this month. I would blog about it on here, but I’m trying to move most of my writing/art/etc. posts over to Blank …
15. How I write
[Cross-posted from Blank Slate because I want to go to bed right now instead of writing a whole new post. :P]
How do I write? Spurts (squeezed out by …

Earlier today Katherine posted “Toward a Mormon Renaissance” over at Mormon Renaissance (how fitting :)). It’s an essay by James …
17. Three thoughts
First, does anyone know if writing on your hand (in pen, of course) has any long-term side effects of the not-so-good variety?
Second, it’s really hard to get to …
A quickie: if any of you want to audition for Lost & Found (the festival in which my new play, Safe and Sound, is showing), here’s when and where it’ll …
19. Safe and sound
Just a quick note to say Safe and Sound got accepted and will be performed April 11–12 (probably at 7:30 and at the Provo Theatre Company as usual). Auditions …
20. Snowstorm finale
Yet another Snowstorm post. :) (But it’s the last one.) We had the encore performance of “Eccentricities” tonight, and it went quite well, even though the place wasn’t …
21. Snowstorm update
I should stop waiting till the end of the day to blog. :) This’ll be short — all I’ve got to say is that because last night and tonight …
22. Page to stage
My play Snowstorm opened tonight. With my last play I went to several of the rehearsals and runthroughs, so I had a fairly good idea walking into the premiere …
This may sound weird, but after posting something every single day since November 1, I’m finding that it’s almost harder not to post each day. I need help. :P
Anyway, …
24. Snowstorm
Writing one play wasn’t enough. Two weeks ago I got a hankering to submit something to the New Play Project’s Eccentricities playfest (the deadline was the 11th), …
I’ve started trying to keep up better with my blog reading (and yes, I’ll be weeding down the list of feeds I’m subscribed to so it’ll be manageable), and as …
26. Little women
This morning I realized that most of my favorite musicals are adaptations of classic literature — Jane Eyre, Secret Garden, Les Mis, The Sound of Music, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Wicked, …
As I mentioned a few days ago, my play Candle in the Darkness premiered this past weekend. I recorded the first night with my digital camera and have …
I announced this before but figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to mention it again. The New Play Project has accepted one of my plays, Candle in …
So, a month and a half ago I went to my first New Play Project performance, in the courtyard of the JFSB here on campus. It was fairly …
I went to see Mahonri Stewart’s play Rings of the Tree tonight. It’s brilliant. Really good. It runs through Saturday, so if you have the chance …
A long time ago one of my friends told me that the music to Jane Eyre (the musical) was amazing. I couldn’t find it anywhere — iTunes, the library, …
32. Frenzied scripts
Following on the success of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), the same team has created Script Frenzy:
Script Frenzy is an international writing event in which participants attempt the …
I just finished my last paper of the semester. All that’s left is a final in my Middle English class tomorrow afternoon. And considering that the midterm took …
I just remembered that I hadn’t posted today, so here I am. (Not that it really would have been that great a loss if I’d waited till tomorrow — …
35. Sing, sing, sing
I don’t think I like jazz as much as I thought I did. Sure, some of it appeals to me (like “Sing, sing, sing”), but most of it just …
Just got back from watching BYU’s production of Arsenic and Old Lace. Throughout the first half, I noticed that my laughs felt hollow, like they were just on the …
