For those of you who missed it, SLC Lampoon had an awesome, end of year liquidation sale entitled Unrequited Hug. It was tons of fun, and I already miss all of the great performers I worked with (I'm talking to you, Katie and Daniel). The following is a scene I contributed to the show.

Well what do you know? I come home from school and what's the first thing I find? Homework. A couple weeks ago the director of OLIVER! asked members of Fagin's Academy to create identities for our chorus roles in the show.

The three therapy appointments a week kind of stink, but it'll be worth it when I'm in full-fledged form for The Lady in Waiting. In any case, I thought I would share a play I wrote recently for the children of Lunchbox Theatre. Aaron Matteson has ( Read more... )

The surgeon cleaned out an arthritic inflammation in my shoulder, but he also ended up shaving down a tendon that was pulling too tightly on my shoulder. Right now I’m sitting in a hotel with my arm in a sling with a bag of ice under my arm and over my ( Read more... )

Well, I'm leaving campus to have shoulder surgery.
