It Takes a Village

A Film About the Magic of Creating Theatre I love the theatre. It's been the one constant in my life. Well, that and my depression. I love the theatre because it is magical to me. It's a place where people come together for the purpose of telling a story. Actors, writers, directors, lighting designers, set designers, costume designers, the list goes on and on. All coming together to tell a story. Brandi Underwood, the founding artistic director of the Fat [...]

A Successful Quest for Don Quixote

Fat Turtle Theatre Company Nails the Quest for Don Quixote The Fat Turtle Theatre Company (I love that name) in Indianapolis just closed an extremely successful run of my play The Quest for Don Quixote. "In adapting the unadaptable, this hilarious play about a play about an immortal character that transcends his literature, bends the rules enough to blend medieval chivalry with Pinkie Pie from 'My Little Pony.'" Yep, one character is a closeted bronie. You can read the whole review [...]

Fat Turtle Theatre on a Quest for Don Quixote

Fat Turtle Theatre Goes on a Quest for Don Quixote The Fat Turtle Theatre Company in Indianapolis, IN is producing my new-ish play The Quest for Don Quixote. It's my most personal play, based on real events in my life. It's about a writer who struggles with the fear of failure, depression and the sometimes paralyzing fear of life. And it's a comedy. I sat down, via Skype, with director Aaron Cleveland, the other day to talk about the play. I believe [...]

Tahlequah Community Playhouse Bound

I'm Heading to the Tahlequah Community Playhouse In two weeks I'll be heading to Tahlequah, OK to the Tahlequah Community Playhouse for its production of Around the World in 80 Days. Last year the theatre produced The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge and the people running the theatre are foolhardy enough to do another one of my shows. When I was at TheatreSquared in Fayetteville, AR last November for the opening of its production of Around the World in 80 Days, some people from Tahlequah [...]

The Quest for Don Quixote

I just got back from Arkansas, where the workshop production of my show The Quest for Don Quixote went extremely well. My show was the featured production at the Arkansas New Play Festival at TheatreSquared in Fayetteville, AR. The three weeks I was there gave me a fantastic opportunity to focus on the script. The rewrites I made worked very well. I came into the second day of rehearsal bearing chocolate truffles for the two actresses because I cut two [...]

Arkansas New Play Festival

The Arkansas New Play Festival Update Well, it's not really an update since I haven't written anything about The Arkansas New Play Festival but I couldn't think of anything witty. In the Dallas airport with Mark Jacobson I'm here in Fayetteville, Arkansas at TheatreSquared for the previously mentioned Arkansas New Play Festival, to workshop my play The Quest for Don Quixote. And it's going swimmingly. I'm fortunate to be in the featured play slot. That means the show gets 2 1/2 weeks [...]

The Quest For Don Quixote Lives

The Quest For Don Quixote at TheatreSquared I'm thrilled to say that my play The Quest for Don Quixote will be headlining the Arkansas New Play Festival this June at Theatre Squared in Fayetteville, Arkansas. That is completely Judy Dench! The Swank Press Release Playwright Ben Eisenberg sits in a Starbucks, just one day before Don Quixote begins rehearsal. There’s just one problem — he hasn’t written it. His agent is apoplectic, the advance is long since spent, and adapting [...]
