You never know what you'll see!

On Good Friday I'll be performing two works in two different churches near NYC.
At noon I'll be performing Journey to the Garden at Bronx Bethany Church of the Nazarene. The drama invites each audience member to become a disciple and travel with Jesus from the Last Supper to the Garden of Gethsemane...

The last time I was in Hong Kong (08/08) I performed and taught at the International Christian School. Erik Melver's middle school class created artwork to commemorate the occasion. Visit the album to see more.

I'm heading north today to prep for our performance of Ragman, an approved adaptation of the short story by Walt Wangerin, Jr.

The performance will be a part of our Good Friday service:

For the Sunday morning service we were a part of a program called "Windows on our Journey". The sanctuary holds a number of stained glass windows, and as artists we expressed the stories of many of those windows through song, dance and drama.

The dancers choreographed a piece on Creation i...

Dancing in the distance are Jane Wellford and Betsy Reeves. I also got to work with Susan Gingrasso and Kathryn Sparks (click here for their bios). All four taught various aspects of sacred dance, and then during the worship services they collaborated with each other and even let me in on some of th...

A dozen years or so ago I overheard Nate Macy explaining how he had once felt "embraced by God." That line made its way into my play on Jonah, Big Fish Little Worm.

This whole weekend has been an extraordinary experience! It started in the Detroit airport, with this sound and light tunnel, which sensitized me for everything that was to come.

If memory serves, this is the airport tunnel using lighting designed by David Lander ( http://LanderLighting.com ), who w...
