Lost Again: A Novel in Stories

Author
Set between post-Woodstock 1969 and the eve of the American Bicentennial in December 1975, Lost Again is coming-of-age fiction about the interconnected lives of fervent college kids whose idealism splinters into confusion and disillusionment when they encounter the revolutionary promise of the 1960s in its quick decline.

Stages of Irish Identity

Author
This book-length critical study examines and evaluates

          the theatrical construct of Irish identity through a
          consideration of productions, playwrights, and performers
          that have provided templates for American, Irish, and British
          society to (mis)understand Irish ethnicity.

Goal for completion: January 2019

An All Green Theater

Explorer and Researcher
After being involved in the planning and building of Buck Hall and the Weiss Theater at Lafayette College, I continue to investigate funding sources that will support an initiative to make the theater facilities and theater production adhere to sustainability and environmentally sound practices.
The goal is also a challenge: Create the very first all-green theater facility and operation on the planet.
