I am an author and playwright, with four books published by McGraw Hill and a recent musical, "Golden Slippers," the best attended feature event at the Berlin 2006 Spring Arts Festival, drawing a combined audience of over 500 at the Berlin Intermediate School on May 7th. It's objective was to involve more of the Berlin African American community in the town's arts and entertainment programs, and served as a conduit to meet that goal by bringing the cast of 60 actors, singers and dancers from the UMES Drama Society to perform an original musical based on the life and music of the African American composer, James Bland.

My 2007 project was another musical titled, "Satchmo & Hoagy," about the interlocking lives and memorable music of the jazz icons of the Jazz and Blues era, Louis Armstrong and Hoagy Carmichael.
It was performed four times in November, 2007 in Berlin and Pocomoke to standing ovations, and will be presented a fifth time in June, 2008 at O.C. Jamboree in Ocean City.

My 2008 project is a children's musical titled, "The Runaway Circus Boy," which will be presented in the
fall of 2008. Cast and crew calls will be issued in June.
