PRESS RELEASE: I WROTE A PLAY.
NOW IT’S OFFICIAL
I wrote a play. The show is called Thumbs Up! and this July I’m traveling to Washington, D.C. to present the world premiere at the Capital Fringe Festival. It’s a one-person show and I’m the cast. This production is presented as a part of the 2012 Capital Fringe Festival, a program of the Washington, DC non-profit Capital Fringe. Now it’s official.
Thumbs Up! is about a young man whose father dies unexpectedly. In his Dad’s will the son learns that his father’s final request sends him hitchhiking across America with a bonsai tree. On the road you’ll meet characters.

In the coming days I’ll be launching an IndieGoGo campaign to help finance this dream. Keep your eyes on my blog or Twitter or Facebook or however you want to stay connected because there are gonna be fun ways to contribute to Thumbs Up! to share parts of yourself and your story.
THUMBS UP!
