The latest in professional updates:

• Oh hey. I'm Peter. I'm a writer. I've written a bunch of plays and also write narrative game scripts, TV/Film scripts, speeches, toasts, roasts, sketches, clever copy, emails, blogs, and more! I am also a playwriting instructor and writing consultant. Slide in to my DMs if you want to produce something I wrote or hire me to write something just for you! (Email is the same as DM, right?)
  
  
• TOTALITARIANS IN GERMANY! AND MILWUAKEE!: (that headline's for the google searches) But, seriously, my play, The Totalitarians received its EU premiere this summer at the English Theatre of Frankfurt! If you read German, you can read Rave Reviews. Milwuakee'sThe Constructivists just finished a smash run of the show too!
  
  
• Niko Tsakalakos and I wrote a musical about natural disasters and willful ignorance to human driven climate change. It's called FALL SPRINGS. It had its World Premiere at Barrington Stage Company in August 2019, directed by our longtime collaborator (now Tony Nominated) Stephen Brackett! We're working on it some more.
  
  
• I've been developing a new play called THE OVERBOOKED HOTEL ROOM. It's, um, it's about an overbooked hotel room and it has a lot of overlapping dialogue which makes it virtually impossible to do on Zoom.
  
  
• I'm also working on a new play called TIM'S LAST WORDS. It's about grief and homosexuals and seafood.
  
  
• MY PLAY WAS IN YOUR HOME: During Pre-Delta/Omicron Covid, I worked with some amazing folks on a pretty cool adaptation of my hit play, A House Tour of the Infamous Porter Family Mansion with Tour Guide Weston Ludlow Londonderry. You got a crazy box of stuff in the mail, and received an amazing audio version of the play performed by the incredible Danny Scheie! There was a cool website too but that is currently down so I have nothing to show for it. Hopefully it will be back soon!
  
  
• Here's how things were going for me early Covid, according to my April 2020 newsletter. Still relevant.
  
  
• I was the Mellon Playwright in Residence at the Z Space from 2013-2018. It's all over for me now. But I talked to Artistic Director Lisa Steindler about it in this article. And I talked to Kirsten Greenidge about it in this article. You can read more about the whole residency thing here.
  
  
• With HowlRound at Arts Emerson in Boston, I hosted a meeting about Comedy in American Theatre entitled I'M TIRED OF ALL THIS DRAMA. Read my recap here.
  
  
• The fine folks at Dramatists Play Service have published my plays The Totalitarians, boom, BOB, Colorado, Hunter Gatherers, and T.I.C.
  
  
• This is a nice OLD article about me in TCG's American Theatre Magazine.
  
  
• I hand-coded this website over 15 years ago. That's why it looks like this.
