"George of the Dead" to be performed at short play festival

I'm excited to announce my short play, George of the Dead, will be produced as part of Theatre Reset's upcoming Short Play Festival #3.

Theatre Reset is a women- and non-binary-owned theatre company based out of Columbus, Oh. This is their third short play festival and the second time they've produced something I wrote. In 2023, they produced my play, Your Child, The Devil, and You, at their second festival.

The festival will be held at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 17, and Saturday, May 18, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 19. All performances will be at 929 Harrison Avenue, Columbus, Oh 43215. Tickets are $20 each.

George of the Dead, as you can probably guess from the title, is a tribute to the late George A. Romero, the writer-director of his series of socially conscious zombie films that began in 1968 with Night of the Living Dead. His other horror films include Creepshow, The Crazies, and Monkey Shines

Although he is best known for making scary movies, Romero tried to branch out into other genres throughout his career, but Hollywood pigeonholed him as a horror guy. My play is about his desire to branch out as an artist, but of course, it has a ghoulish sense of humor. I can't wait to see the cast and crew bring it to life.
