Writing Roundup

Here are some pieces I’ve put out into the world over the past few months.

My first piece for Trek Movie, a Star Trek site I’ve been reading for many years. It’s an 

interview with New York Times bestselling author Dayton Ward about his latest book, KIRK FU MANUAL.

And speaking of Star Trek, I wrote an article for the official Star Trek website, all about my own personal trouble with Tribbles.

Theatre Reviews

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH – Review of a fantastic production at The Warehouse Theatre.

THE HEATH – another great production at the Warehouse, this of a new play by Lauren Gunderson.

BRIGHT STAR – I saw the original production of this Steve Martin/Edie Brickell musical when it was on Broadway. I incorporated that experience into my review of a terrific production by the Mill Town Players.

NEWSIES – This production at Greenville Theatre was top notch (and, disclaimer, my son was in it).

DEAR EVAN HANSEN – the touring company came to the Peace Center.

COME FROM AWAY – What a wonderful show! We saw the touring production. I interviewed Julie Johnson, who graduated a year or two ahead of me from Austin College (in Sherman, TX).

Bonus – Five Great Local Hikes, written for a tourist guide to our town, published by the Greenville News.

My new book – Growing Greenville for 50 Years

I wrote a book.

It’s called “Growing Greenville for 50 Years: A Celebration of Greenville Technical College 1962-2012.”

Produced for the college’s 50th anniversary, the book was released last night at a celebratory gala. I am co-author, having written many of the chapters and helped arrange the overall flow.

It was a fun project to work on and I’m proud of the result – it’s a great looking book. And I learned a lot about the huge effect Greenville Tech has had – and continues to have – on the community.
