This summer we got to rest and relax a little, which was a much-needed respite from the intense tour schedule and general insanity of this past spring. Some of us got into meditation, others of us relearned how to exercise. We all dropped a few unnecessary pounds, except Kenny who grew, like, three inches! Last […]

Kennedy Center, Southern Cali, and Spoleto Festival USA
The Edinburgh trip was really a highlight of our two years of touring, but this season didn’t end there. We flew directly from Scotland to Washington DC and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts where we played four school shows and five public performances of Book One. Every one of them was sold out. […]
Edinburgh responses
Just yesterday, I got this email from a teacher at the Sanquhar Primary School in Scotland. Wow. A big ‘Hi’ from Sanquhar Primary. We were the enthusiastic school at your Friday performance. I thought you might like to read what the kids thought of the show so I’ve included their blog. They have the freedom write […]
Across the Pond
Edinburgh has been amazing. Possibly the prettiest city in the UK. And the reception to our show was nothing if not effusive. Just incredible. Huge thank-you to the Imaginate Festival for bringing us out here. We’ve had a blast! We arrived after a crazy travel day that consisted of getting to the airport at 6 […]
PBS Documentary
Perhaps the most flattering thing ever? KLRU, Austin’s PBS affiliate, has a show called Arts In Context, which features an Austin-based arts project in each of its 12 annual episodes. Tonight we’re one of them. Mario Troncoso directed and produced the 30-minute feature. It uses footage that Eric Stewart and Anton Blake shot while we […]
O Canada!
The last five weeks have been incredible. We started them in Canada and now we end this leg of touring in Canada. From Brampton and St. Catharines in Ontario to Schenectady NY to our run on Broadway at the New Victory to Medicine Hat and Calgary, Alberta, to Vernon, British Coloumbia, we have tamed the […]
Back on Broadway next year
It has been an incredible couple of weeks. Once the nightmare of our housing situation got resolved, we all settled into our two-week run at the New Victory Theatre on Broadway. Jessie, Danu, and Cami all repeatedly told me that the gig has been a dream-come-true for them. And for me, too. Particularly today, when […]
If we can make it here…
Wow. The last couple of months have been a total whirlwind. From coming back from Hawaii and immediately going into rehearsals to record the radio version of Book Three: Twin Infinity to going back on the road in Ohio, Colorado, Canada, and Upstate New York, to being defrauded of thousands of dollars on the day […]
Hawaii Tour 2013
The past year has been a series of amazing events for The Intergalactic Nemesis. From coverage by NPR and Conan O’Brien to the premiere of Book Two: Robot Planet Rising to touring to places like the Wexner Center and returning to venues like the Lied Center of Kansas, each moment has been incredible. But the […]
Book Three Kickstarter launched
In 1996, Ray Colgan approached me about creating, performing, and recording a sci-fi radio play in the coffeehouse he worked in. I had just founded Salvage Vanguard Theater, a company devoted to the development and production of new plays, so it seemed like a no-brainer. Being a huge fan of Star Wars and Raiders… of course was a huge part of the […]
