Hello! : ) I'm a playwright from Charleston, SC who has written dozens of short plays, two musicals, and one full-length play. My plays have been performed in Maryland, New York, Los Angeles, and France, and my influences include Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Conan O'Brien, Sarah Silverman, Steve Martin, and Tina Fey. I'm the author of For I Am Zeus: A Collection of Plays About Greek Mythology, Never Trust an Angel and Other Plays, and Goat Herpes and Other Problems (which was just released on May 29th), and I run a blog devoted to all thing paranormal. My short play 'Til Death Do Us Part was performed at the Hudson Theatre in Hollywood a few weeks ago as part of 2Cents Theatre's Acting Out Ink Fest, a 3-day festival of Plays written by women, and it was an amazing experience. : ) http://paranormalcrystal.blogspot.com/ http://crystalsmithconnelly.weebly.com/

Hi Crystal - welcome to the stage. I saw the trailer for "Goat Herpes and Other Problems" - I still don't know what it really is, but I can't wait to find out! :D Talk about catchy title.

Hee hee, I like your list of influences, Crystal.
Tomasz, it's a book of plays about Greek gods in group therapy and Zeus trying to get a job as an OB/GYN. The title comes from a line in the book about Zeus having goat herpes. : )

Haha - sweet. Sounds awesome. I've spent a couple of years studying mythology, but I must have missed that part. :D

I'm Eric Sentell and I am a writerholic. If it wasn't for a creative outlet I'd be mental. Or at least that's what my shrinks tell me. Of my eight feature specs, five are High Concepts. One's a remarkable true-life story under option and currently in development. You could say that my life experiences qualify me as an interesting story teller. I'm ex military combat Special Ops and a former Peace Corps volunteer, so I tend to look at things from multiple angles. I'm as comfortable underwater as I am on land and I've skippered boats through some real nightmare scenarios. I once won an award for being the worst fisherman on the East African Coast and absolutely deserved it. I'm a devoted follower of Hal Croasmun of Screenwriting U. I've taken every course he's offered and am currently in his Master Certificate program that's terrific. My classmates are the greatest and very high level. If you haven't looked into ScreenwritingU's Pro Series, check it out. At the very least, check out their subtext classes. It's the best. If anyone needs info on anything oceanic or relating to Central, Eastern or West Africa, I'm more than willing to offer my input. I'm from the Big Island of Hawaii, so a big mahalo to Richard for this wonderful site. Hope to work with some of you in the near future.
