Engaging Shaw Diary–The Critics, Closing, and Aftermath

It has been over a month since I updated this, but I suppose it’s necessary to finish the story. I won’t go day-by-day this time.
I spend the week after Shaw opens teaching a residency at one of my favorite elementary schools in Baltimore County and scouring the internet for reviews. I also have

Engaging Shaw–Opening Week Diary

I’m still in the process of recovering from such a crazy week, traveling back and forth between Maryland and New York so many times. Much of the week is a blur. Here’s a rundown.
MONDAY
I’m home for only a day, before heading back to New York. There’s a huge list of things I

Engaging Shaw Tech Week Diary

I just returned from New York, where I spent the most glorious week since Betsy and I went to Italy in 2002. I can’t resist passing along my impressions.
EASTER SUNDAY
I train into the city from my in-laws’ house in Cortlandt Manor, smiling at the suggestion of my mother-in-law that the upcoming production of Engaging

More Walter Moran Show Videos

I put three more sketches on Youtube from The Walter Moran Show, the public access cable program I did with Danny Vermont in the mid-80’s. I’m just going to post the links, rather than embed them.

The Benefits of Narcissistic Googling!

I’ve been having trouble with Facebook for the past few days.  Apparently, everyone can see my profile but me, so I’ve been unable to post anything.  I’m posting this to JohnMorogiello.com because I know it feeds into FB.

Dates and Times For CapFringe

I’ve got two plays going up at this summer’s Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, DC. The first is Irish Authors Held Hostage, which is returning to Washington after a three year absence. It is one of my favorite shows, and we are reuniting the cast from the 2006 production: Terence Aselford, Lori

The Al Pacino Story

My friend, Eric Winick asked to record my Al Pacino story for his website:  http://www.yarnaudioworks.com.  Some of you are all too familiar with this story.  For many years it was the only story I told.  I stopped telling it about ten years ago because I was beginning to bore even myself.  Now, thanks to Eric,

Matchmaker’s Guide on Amazon

The DVD of The Matchmaker’s Guide to Controlling the Elements is now available through Amazon.com, which is very exciting, despite the insanely low royalty Amazon offers. Here’s what I recommend: buy the thing at the store on JohnMorogiello.com or JTBurianTheatricals.com (it’s the same price as Amazon, but my percentage is higher), then visit
