Hey Mary Washington College folks, your distinguished thespian alumnus Russell Morgan was featured on WDBJ7 here in Southwest Virginia! The television station did a segment on David Walton’s excellent stage dramedy, “Closing Arguments,” in which Russ had a starring role.
Let me tell you something — the dude was damned funny too. I guess the old MWC theater department taught him well!

I will never understand or remember whether the proper spelling of Mucha’s first name is “Alfons” or “Alphonse.” Apologies.
Or … I will be, after I die. That is how it works, right?
And you should be one too! It’s easy if you live in a state like Virginia. You just check off a box when you apply for (or renew) your driver’s license.
Or, you can find out how to register right here with the Department of Health and Human Services.

I am so happy to see my poem “March Midnight Window” included in cc&d magazine’s latest anthology, Letter from the End of the World. The piece was originally published in cc&d’s regular issue at the start of March; it is reprinted here in the new literary collection.
You can order a copy of Letter from the End of the World right here at Amazon.
Thanks once again to Editor Janet Kuypers at Scars Publications for allowing me to join the community at cc&d magazine!

I immensely enjoyed today’s matinee performance of Closing Arguments at The Bear Theater at 302 Campbell Avenue in Roanoke. (A caveat — I cannot offer an unbiased review here, because a great old college friend, Russell Morgan, is one of the cast.)
But suffice to say I had a blast. Closing Arguments is an engaging, thoughtful, and genuinely funny comedy delivered by a talented, energetic cast. It portrays a dysfunctional family reuniting in a small town for a funeral for one of their own, where their latent animosities and neuroses boil over.
Writer and director David Walton was on hand to introduce the performance. (And it occurs to me as a theater neophyte that there must be a benefit to playwrights directing their own plays — who better to guide actors performances toward matching the intent of the text?)
Anyway, I cheerfully recommend this. Closing Arguments’ next weekend is its last; if you are interested, you can buy tickets here.
