This page is strightforward and direct... I'm putting my scripts here. These are the ones that I think should be shared with the masses. Most of the time the masses don't agree...
If you like them or not, I do want to know what you think of
them. You can get ahold of me at my
If you email I promise that I will answer.
If you would like to use one of my scripts I ask for no money. What I do ask is that you email me and let me know you are doing it, and more impotantly I ask that you tell me how the show went.
I will also post the "Musings of the Purple Cow" epsiodes... they are me ranting at the world as I see fit. I typically send them out over email so it'll be a delay before they appear here. If you would like to get ont he email list let me know.
The Scripts
Most of the scripts in the Screening Room are unfinished movie scripts... if anyone wishes to comment on any one of the scripts given here I invite you to do so.

How I Exploded Out of Life and Into a Jail Cell All
Thanks to that Wonderful Hamster Named Terrance - It's a piece written for No Shame Theatre in Iowa City, Iowa. Performed by myself there in 1997,
the crowd seemed to get some good laughs out of it. But then
again, how can you not laugh at a play centered on an
exploding hamster?
Simpler Expositions Through Flashcards is a piece that my friend Adam Hahn and I performed on November 12, 1999. Lukewarm reviews abound, I think the piece has a wonderful premise, but in the end the No Shame judges gave it a 50/50. Such is the way... right?
I Left Jesus In My Other Pants - Is a piece that debuted at No Shame on Dec 3, 1999. The title got the best laugh I will admit. While it got laughs in the right places the piece is more about thought, and the return of faith. The end was met with silence as my ranting and raving subsided. The feelings that I took away from it was "Holy ---- this guy actually made me think."
Reinvention - Another serious piece that was performed at No Shame on February 11, 2000. While I did not have the privlidge of performing or even seeing the piece I did entrust it to a good friend of mine, Adam Hahn. He showed the auidence a piece about the physical incarnation of Death wanting to reinvent his image... with the help of a red clown nose.
A Story About Tits - Cookie producing breasts strike again. It hit the No Shame stage on March 3, 2000 with the help of Meridith Nepstad, a wonderful person in her own right. The piece went well, it got the right laughs in the right places, and in the end came back with overall good reviews.
Goodbye, angel - another No Shame piece, though this one can be catigorized as a drama. Unfortunatley it never made it to the stage.
All the things I wanted to say only to have Hallmark let me down - A piece that I will debut at No Shame in a couple of weeks. It's a piece about love, and what one will do to prove that love.
C.O.D. - what happens when a messenger gets into the middle of a lovers quarrel?
Inner Voices - You know what they are... the annoying little voices that hang in the back of your skull saying all the things you wish you could say...
Hell's Designated Hitter - come and see the last at bat in the annual Heaven/Hell Softball Match.
Alexander Graham Bell Would Be Proud - OK, this one isn't a script, but it is a story that I wrote over the course of several Friday nights when I was at work. It makes no sense, but hey, I like it.
(the screening room)
Storyteller - a movie script all about a writer trying to make it in the biz...
Marionette - what happens when one man can control you as if you were a marionette? What happens if he starts pulling those strings to accomplish his own agenda?
Face of God - The world actually gets to see the face of God as the last Keeper ventures forward.
Gaea - When Mother Nature gets angry at the way humanity has treated her, something bad is going to happen. But the remnants of an age old promise keeps her from destroying humanity outright. Now she looks to tkae back that promise.
Walking With Them - If you can figure it out let me know. I am not exactly sure where I am going with this one.
These are the rantings and ravings of a madman. I make no claim to have them make any sense, but hey, if you want to read them be my guest...
