A Simple Theatre will produce my family comedy, CONGRATULATIONS, JOE, at the Studio 620 in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. Opening night is August 16, and the play will run to August 26, with shows on Thursday-Sunday. The Studio 620 is an intimate space, and this production will be very special to me. Never did I think this play would get a professional production, or even a reading. But with the help of Gavin Hawk and Meg Heimstead, founders of A Simple Theatre, this thing will see the light of day. Reception to the script so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Casting will take place in May, and rehearsals will commence in mid-July. This is going to be a thrill of a lifetime!
