Hi Friends! Happy Holidays! Here is my 2025 rundown.
Another year of being a full time playwright! It's been about 2 and a half years now. I feel like I'm still getting used to it. I think part of me thought there would be so much time in the day for writing and thinking and there's definitely more time than there was when I was working full time, but administrative tasks of playwriting don't go away and like I've said before, I have more of the home work now, including driving the kid places, getting him up every morning and parenting when he gets home every day. So my days are shorter than they were. But I'm not complaining. I'm very lucky.
This year I wrote the last 2/3 of a screenplay, the last 2/3 of a full length play as well as 3 one act plays and 3 full length plays. I was also paid to write an outline of a screenplay.
Also we are slowly working on a musical version of Kodachrome.
In production news, overall I had 3 more than last year (193 vs 190) It was 106 full lengths, 82 one acts, 5 nights of short plays. Compared to last year, a few more full length productions and fewer one act productions.
I had the same number of productions of full lengths at theaters as the past 2 years (23 theaters). 27 colleges did my plays. The rest of the productions were high schools, and the odd middle school or theater camp.
There were 23 productions of the full length version of Kodachrome and 30 productions of the one act version. Counting both versions, Kodachrome has now had over 200 productions.
Full lengths this year included 28 productions of Marian or the True Tale of Robin Hood, 25 of The Bookstore, 8 of The Christmas Tree Farm, 6 Clown Bar, 2 Clown Bar 2, 1 Clown Bar Christmas, 1 Hearts Like Fists, 2 Hearts Like Planets, 1 Night Children, 2 Bart and Arnie, 1 Adventures of Super Margaret, 1 Fat Cat Killers, 1 Incendiary, 1 Such Small Hands, 1 New Love, 1 Starry Night and 1 Elsewhere (in Turkish).
Four published plays this year. Hearts Like Planets, Bart and Arnie, The Girl Who Cannot Be Hurt. I'm excited for the Marian Musical to be released for licensing sometime in the new year!
Some posters from productions this year. This year saw NYC premiere of Fat Cat Killers, world premiere of Such Small Hands, fancy NOLA Project production of Clown Bar 2, New Love premiered in Belgrade.
I ran 7 races. (five 5ks, one 1 mile, and one 5 mile--the Manchester Road Race on Thanksgiving, the latter of which I last ran about 30 years ago.) I probably ran slower than last year.
We took our son to Disney World. Went camping in CT, hung out on the Cape. I was in Anaheim for the Chance Theater production for almost two weeks. Was at a silent writing retreat with stillwright in upstate New York for a week. Visited Lehigh University to see the Bookstore. Went to Little Pond for the Flux retreat. Worked on a play at the CT Theater Exchange. Was in and out of NYC quite a bit. Saw Kodachrome in Canton, CT. Went to NY Comicon.
This year I was again in a writing group for parents with Project Y, and took part in Flux's Core Work writing group.
What else happened this year? We had to have a pipe replaced in our back yard and had to live at my parents house for a week so we could take showers.
Otherwise, things are good. Hope all is well with all of you.
Happy New Year!
Here are my previous years in review.
