UPDATED: Visit The Final Search post to read the finished script! I stumbled upon this 5 minute play opportunity from Cone Man Running Productions in Houston, TX: https://www.conemanrunning.com/submit and thought it’d be fun to write for. I have a couple of hours before my ride comes, so what better to add more content onto my…

New Year, New Goals to Never Give Up!
So, I’ve been thinking a lot about this playwriting career I’ve been on. Actually, can I still call it a career? Is it a career if I don’t make this a full-time job where I’m supporting myself financially by WRITING? Going by that definition, I’m not. I am thankful for being able to have another…
WELGA, the production that brought me Full Circle
So, this is a thing. A thing I wrote in 2014 for my MFA Thesis as a reflection of everything I learned in my 3 years at SFSU. A play that grew out of an idea to share what I had learned about the Filipino Labor Leader, Larry Dulay Itliong. My first thought of how…
A Process
The above is a production still from my 10-minute play, DEVOTED starring Akiko Aspilliaga, Patrick Silvestre and Edu Ibazeta (not pictured). It’s a play that I’ve vowed that I couldn’t write–a love story. I don’t know what it is about love stories, but I just never could get into writing one. Maybe it’s because I…
WELGA – The Program
Since The Dramatists Guild of America requires a program to “validate” that I’m a “real” playwright, thought that I’d have it posted up on here. Sincere gratitude goes out to everyone that made this production possible.
I need my life to mean something…

It’s relavatory actually! Though i don’t do so much of it, I love the process of traveling. I don’t…
What fascinates me…
So now that I’ve “finished” NAO, I’ve been thinking about what to write next. The best place to start, for me, is to create a list of things that .fascinate me. These are things that make me want to explore the primal question of why? Things that fascinate me: – people with quick tempers –…
Fire
Hey! So last night, I was volunteering at the theater where I saw one of my awesomest writer friends, Carson. Very typical of writers to ask each other the following: So what are you working on? My response for really the last 5 months have been… I’ve been working on work/life balance. I’m tired of…
By(e)line
Preface: My Dear Diary section is written in a stream, so what’s fished out below is still kinda stinky and slimy. I over-edit everything I write: scripts, procedure manuals, tweets… But that’s not the intent of what follows. I’m just trying to get some shit straight in my head. (And if I was editing, I’d…
