I'm doing 16 things
Decided to throw out all of my old work on this and try a new approach. I’ve finally found a language I like: “Groovy”, and may use this as the basis for the scriptable composition tool.

Another step along the way - Festival Production
22 months ago
Had a show, “Dinner at Precisely Eight-Thirteen” produced at “The Brick” theater for a festival production. It included costumes, sets, and lighting design!
But I can’t count this goal as complete, because it was a just a festival production and there were not a full complement of designers involved.
But – it was an amazing experience, and possibly the show will go places from here, we’ll see. It got a really good review: http://www.nytheatre.com/nytheatre/prnn/383.htm .
Moving on

Things didn’t work out with this collaborator. We may start up again in the future, but in the mean time I’m pursuing other possibilities.
