FYI, gentlemen (and gals who know gentlemen).

I've performed two of my plays for this theatre company.  They're great folks and it's a nice area.

Moral Storytelling

I just came across a great article by John Truby.

Here's an excerpt:

I don’t know why these stories of grand moral accounting have all appeared in movie theaters at around the same time. It may be nothing more than a fluke of production. Or it may be a reaction to a time when America’s position as the prime moral compass in the world has been shaken, if not shattered, by war and torture. Or it may simply be a number of fine storytellers all deciding to make an aesthetic and moral decision of their own. That stories aren’t just about jolting and thrilling and then soothing an audience. Stories are the primary way we give meaning to our lives, but only when they show individuals making hard decisions with effects that can last a lifetime.
