I'm doing 11 things
Theatre Design and Scene Painting was my major in college so I’m well-versed in all things “backstage”. I’ve even had some success onstage in shows like “Arsenic and Old Lace”, “Greater Tuna 1 and 2” and “7 Blowjobs” (don’t ask). I’ve even directed once, ” ‘night Mother” in 1991. But I’ve always thought writing for the stage would be fantastic!
When I was in college, an urban legend said that if your roommate committed suicide, then you would get a 4.0 for the quarter. Great idea for a 3 act play!!! Imagine a quad (a dorm with 4 people) where 1 person committs suicide in the first act. The second act is two of the roommates conspiring to kill a third. The 3rd act is a showdown between the last remaining two guys. Greta idea for a black comedy, “Deathtrap” style.
Then my awesome idea was made into a crappy movie called “Dead Man on Campus” and they didn’t even know I thought of it first!!
Lousy, frickin’ planet!
