I can’t believe I haven’t posted any news since last year!! It’s a year later and I’m having another world premiere. This times it’s my play A Frosty Night. It’s a commission from The Human Race Theatre (where This is Tom Jones! had its world premiere last year.)

The show is an adults only holiday show. It’s a comedy about a love triangle with Mrs. Claus, a certain Snowman, and that snowman’s human wife, Sharon. Love, life, and friendship are at risk in a comedy about infidelity, secrecy, lies and the choices we make.

The show runs December 11 – 22.

This is Tom Jones! opened to stellar reviews at the Human Race Theatre in Dayton, OH. I couldn’t have asked for a better world premiere. Now on to the next production.

This Is Tom Jones! Company

“Brown’s new musical should spread like wildfire across the country, with its feel-good message, accessible lyrics, and continuous laughs.”  ~League of Cincinnati Theatres

“This is Tom Jones!… is a wildly entertaining, pleasantly surprising and musically inviting experience not to be missed.”  ~Dayton.com

“Mark Brown has written a hilarious show, with bawdy double entendre, clever references, and side-splitting characters.”  ~The Sappy Critic

“This is Tom Jones! is a hilarious, groovy, entertaining show and the Human Race Theatre knocks it out of the park!”  ~League of Cincy Theatres

April 2023

My show This is Tom Jones! will be getting its world premiere at The Human Race Theatre in Dayton, OH in September. I’m thrilled beyond belief. It’s been a long time coming and I can’t wait to see it on its feet.

2023

Happy New Year! I hope 2022 was a good year for you. I started 2023 by discovering that my “News” page vanished into the ether. Oh well. New year, new start.

2022 ended pretty well for me. I had about 20 productions of The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge.

In 2023, I already have booked:

I’m hoping my new scripts, (The Gentleman Thief, and The Wild Game!), and my musical Tom Jones the Musical, will get world premieres in the 2023-24 season.

Here’s hoping 2023 is a wonderful and prosperous new year for everyone.
