A Brief History

Microphone

I’ve produced audio theater with three troupes so far.

While attending U.C. Berkeley, I met Monica Sullivan, the producer of a weekly radio drama show (“Shoestring Radio Theatre”) which aired on KALX-FM (and later KUSF-FM). I submitted a script and after hearing it produced, I was hooked. Over the years I became more and more involved in the all-volunteer, non-profit radio drama troupe, which began nationally syndicating its shows in 1993. I went on to write, direct and/or produce over 20 plays (30 to 90 minutes each) and 25 shorts — across all genres. If you are interested in the details, you can view my complete Radio Drama Portfolio.

In early 2000, I started working for an Internet startup and no longer had time to be regularly involved in Shoestring productions. However, I did manage to find the time to produce some audio comedy with my own side troupe, Crunchy Frog Comedy.

After producing my last play with Crunchy Frog Comedy in 2003, I took a break from radio drama production for about 16 years. I finally returned to the hobby as the co-founder of Seriously Strange Audio Theater, which launched to the public in May 2019 with a website, YouTube Channel, and two initial episodes. We released two additional episodes in May 2020.

Screenwriting

I also write film scripts, and, currently, screenwriting is my primary focus as a writer.
