I took the video in Utah.

I have been away from home for about a month now.

I miss it.

I miss Barnyard.

The trade off for this summer is that instead of building sets in the middle of the countryside at Barnyard Theatre, I spent three weeks in the beautiful Wasatch Mountains south of Salt Lake before flying out to Brooklyn, which is actually part of New York City — the country-bumpkin learns s uch strange things — for a NYC Fringe show.

For three weeks my entire life was writing in a place that looks like this:

This has been followed by working on plays here:

If you’re in New York, join us at the Fringe, please. The actors are absolutely phenomenal.
