Come See My Show!
As many of you may already know, I'm directing a show for Theatre@First in Somerville. The show is called She Kills Monsters and it's about a young woman named Agnes coming to terms with the loss of her younger sister Tilly by playing a D&D module Tilly left behind.
We've got monsters and fights and magic and romance and laughter and tears and a little family bonding. The show is a love letter to those of you who played D&D as a teen-ager. It's also a show that celebrates the people who love this hobby even when they don't fit the typical geek mold. We have an amazing set of cast and crew who have pulled out all the stops to bring you the greatest theatrical spectacular community theatre can muster. I could not be more delighted with how it's all coming together and I hope lots of you come to see, enjoy, and appreciate all the hard work that's gone into it.

Tomes of Terror: Campfire Tales Deluxe Edition
Hey,
Two years ago, I was one of the Festival Directors for Tomes of Terror: Campfire Tales. This was the PMRP Halloween Radio show for that year.
We had an anthology of horror stories based around urban legends told by some campers trying to get through a very long night in the woods. The show was a lot of fun and very well received.
PMRP has started a Kickstarter to fund a deluxe digital/CD recording of the show. Cool artwork and postcards for the shows will be added in among other stuff. They've got a modest funding goal and they have all the recordings and should be able to get the final result out on time.
Anyway, check it out -- the show was a lot of fun to do and there are some genuinely spooky stories in there.

A long-form piece on the complexities of dealing with people who have dementia.
A long-form piece on the complexities of dealing with people who have dementia. In particular, the idea of lying to patients to help them cope.
