The Thrilling Adventure & Supernatural Suspense Hour: THIS SATURDAY NIGHT

Got plans Saturday night?

Tickets are still available for this month's Thrilling Adventure & Supernatural Suspense Hour! Email thrillingadventure@gmail.com for reservations!

As some of you may know, for the past four-plus years, I have have been directing this amazing live stage show performed by brilliantly talented actors in the style of old-timey radio. Last month, we made the move to a new theater: Largo at the Coronet Theatre in Los Angeles, and our shows are just getting bigger and better...

The next edition is this THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 3rd, and we have a spectacular line up of guest stars... Don't believe me?

We've got Busy Philipps (Cougartown; Freaks & Geeks), David Berman (CSI; Drop Dead Diva), Tom Lenk (Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Broadway's "Rock of Ages"), Kirsten Vangsness (Criminal Minds), Paget Brewster (Criminal Minds), Paul F. Tompkins (Best Week Ever; Largo's "Paul F. Tompkins Show"), Marc Evan Jackson (Super Dave's Spike-tacular), Autumn Reeser (The OC; Human Target; Entourage), Dave (Gruber) Allen (Freaks & Geeks), John DiMaggio (Futurama's Bender), Samm Levine (Freaks & Geeks; Inglourious Basterds), James Urbaniak (The Venture Brothers), John Ennis (Mr. Show), Mark Gagliardi, Annie Savage, and Hal Lublin...

And did I mention a performance by Common Rotation?


Come on down and check it out -- you won't be disappointed!

ON NEWSTANDS: Script Magazine (March/April 2010)

The latest issue of Script Magazine is out now.

For this issue, I had the pleasure to sit down with Linda Woolverton (Beauty & The Beast) and chat about her script for Alice in Wonderland. We talked about her decision to blend all of Lewis Carroll's Alice-texts together to create a revisionist sequel (of sorts), and she told me an insane story of how she broke into this business by marching into Disney and literally leaving her sample at the front desk.

For Alice, she got to make up a whole bunch of gibberish words in Carroll's style (awesome), and she revealed her favorite was futterwacken.

What does it mean? It's in the article...

Also in this issue, get ready for the final adventure from The Case Files of The Unlawyer.

A few years after moving to LA, I got one of the most unusual jobs: working in a high end entertainment law firm masquerading as a lawyer.

This is a true story.

I have been documenting the legal(ish) victories and the stressful disasters which could have been prevented by, presumably, a law degree... but the time has come to hang up the suit and tie.

The final installment --where I actually negotiated a contract for myself-- is called Talk To My Unlawyer.
