I’ve recently become co-chair of the Boston chapter of Harvardwood, a group of Harvard alumni, students, faculty and staff involved in arts, media, and entertainment. If you have a relationship with Harvard (and with the arts, media, and/or entertainment) and would like to get involved in chapter activities, please contact me.

Upcoming audition

On August 1, I’m auditioning for Christopher Durang’s Durang Durang, to be produced by Bad Habit Productions this fall. Wish me luck.

Sex Encounters getting a big profile

The International CringeFest in New York is divided into several themed evenings, and my two short sketches are both part of “Sex Encounters of a Disturbed Mind.” (My film, “The Boss Gets Some Bad News,” will open every night of the festival.) “Sex Encounters” is looking to be the marquee event.

International CringeFest 2010

I’ve been invited back to the International CringeFest in Times Square this summer. This is the group that did The Flaming of the Shrew last year. They’ll be producing two of my comedy sketches and showing a Downfall parody I created just for this festival.
