Hello everyone! I am a screenwriter, audio dramatist, and living history presenter. I began transitioning to new media a few years ago after 20 plus hears as a playwright, actor, and director, and Stage 32 seminars, groups, and special events like the Writer's Month last year have been invaluable to my progress. Since then I have contracted to write 2 screenplays and develop an audio drama series based on a character from one of my novels.

Wow. Fantastic, Joey! Were the screenwriting gigs secured through connections made here?
Thanks RB!! The two screenwriting gigs were not direct connections from Stage 32, but I had secured a smaller project (a one-off audio drama script) through here and the fact that I was out working for others certainly helped! You have created an amazing Creative Space here. Thanks for the note!!
Terrific to hear, Joey. Wishing you all the best with the projects! Thanks for the good words!

Thank you and you're very welcome!
Richard: Some exciting news. My 30-minute film, We're Gonna Make (Y)our FIlm received an award from the Indie Gathering International Film Festival.
Greetings. Like to learn more about your work as a living history presenter.
Brian: Thanks for the interest! I started several years ago portraying two Civil War captains, one from West Virginia and another from The famous 54th Massachusetts, which was at the vanguard at Fort Wagner, NC. I was trained in Chautauqua style, using first person primarily research to create a 40 minute presentation. Audience can then ask questions of the historical figure for 10 minutes and then of the scholar/actor for 10 minutes. I then did a one-man Edgar Allan Poe in this style and now have a walking tour in Beaufort, NC that explores the history of not only the area but specific pirates who operated here, including Blackbeard.
