Excerpt
In the complete blackness of the stage, there is an audible "POP!"
AT RISE A young man stands in the store looking very confused. He has a back pack. This young man is JEREMY. RONNY comes out of the storage room.
RONNY
Welcome to Everything You Need! What do you need?
JEREMY
I think I need an explanation.
RONNY
About what, son?
JEREMY
Where am I?
RONNY
You're in my store, Everything You Need.
JEREMY
How did I get here?
RONNY
Most people come in that front door.
JEREMY
I'm pretty sure that's not how I got here.
Bio
I was born young, grew old very quickly, then entered into my second childhood, which I found far more satisfying than my first. Also safer. No longer having parents who threaten to move away and leave no forwarding address, or wave guns and rant drunkenly, was a remarkable improvement. I've ended up having a rather interesting life -- including becoming a licensed private investigator (seriously), writing plays that have been produced (successfully in LA area, not so successfully in NYC), and working as a homeschool tutor to a teenage redneck in Williston, Florida. I share my life with a very strange man who likes things that burn or explode, and knives that are too sharp, and who makes art that literally made the State of Florida threaten to close a gallery. It's never dull in my world.
I have no previous connection with Clarion West -- but my friend Kij Johnson does.
Publications
August 1994 - "Dogland," short story, The Sun Magazine
Numerous magazine articles. My plays have been produced in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Florida, Midland, Texas, Ohio, and Melbourne, Australia.
Writing Description
I'm primarily a playwright, and my work has been mostly dramas, but I do like writing comedies and will be working on a comedy for this project.
Goals
I have a new play I'm getting ready to start, and I thought I'd combine it with this.
I have no fundraising goal. I hope that I can raise some money. We shall see.
