In this episode of Off-Leash Arts, the prolific playwright-blogger-actor-director-teacher-rabble rouser talks with host Tanya Shaffer about his unusual writing process, his work with the Tony Award-Winning San Francisco Mime Troupe (“always outspoken; never silent”), the concept of the tragic farce, and why you should never shoot for compromise.
