Probably need to record these songs for real at some point; the only place you can hear them now is on the DVD of the live show ... Soon as we stage "Eventide", I'll revisit this one ... :)

I keep thinking I should re-vamp this show at some point. I still like the music, but I think the script could be tighter, and would benefit from a lighter, more comedic approach. Waiting on the right rainy day ... :)

Thanks Robert! This site has been getting activity from all kinds of weird places lately; going to have to ramp up the content here and think about this show some more ...

"Scorpio" edited DVD's of the Sunday, April 10th, 2011 performance at 79th Ave. Theatre, (formatted for standard players), are now available (finally) and are free for the asking for cast, crew, and band. Trying to get a viewing party together for Saturday Night, labor day weekend for all interested. They cost me around $8.00 apiece, so if anyone else wants one, I'll accept a donation :) -pfox

Whew! After a three month's "romp in the world of make-believe", life's finally getting back to normal. I'd like to thank cast, crew, audience, and venue; couldn't be more thrilled with the final result. BTW: check out "Moonlight & Magnolias", next big show at 79th Ave. Theatre starting the last week in April! pfox

Wow! Final dress rehearsal tonight. In the beginning, when it's just a blank page, it's all about telling a story. Then you go through a million changes with cast, crew, props, venue, sound, lighting, music, promotions, the whole crazy deal. And in the end, it's all about telling a story. Amazing, amazing process ......

Wicked Gift is pleased to announce that world-renowned EWI (Electric Wind Instrument) artist Bernie Kennerson will be joining us onstage for both of this weekend's performances of "Scorpio's Kiss." Music to our ears....

A performance by a traveling theatre troupe in a small town results in the lead actor's death. Was it murder, or "death by accidental overdose"? Tracy Holmes, (Sherlock's great-great-grand niece) is recruited to find out. A final plot twist puts the sting in this scorpion's tale.....

As we're closing in on showtime, (a little over a week away), I'd like to take a moment to appreciate Thom Penn and Atlantic Stage for sponsoring "Scorpio's Kiss" at 79th Ave Theatre. When I first met Thom, he told me part of their mandate was to showcase new works. How awesome is that?
Part of our mandate is to create them. pfox
