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 …
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. Although we always credited the other, Danny and I rarely wrote sketches together. We would bring in separate material …
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. Anyway, without the monumental self-indulgence that is Facebook, I needed to find other avenues of vanity-wallowing, and …
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 Boyd, Terence Heffernan, …

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, …

The reading is free to the public and there will be a discussion with …
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 the Amazon …
I’ve completely redesigned my professional website, JohnMorogiello.com. I could no longer pretend that I looked like the 27 year old in the headshot. Explore. Let me know if you find any mistakes, or unnavigable sections.
This is an old home video from 1995. My son, who was only 21 months old at the time, was obsessed with The Who. We listened to them and watched them every day. Sometimes he would sing along or drum to them, but more often than not he would “Do Pete.”
Yes, I am a paragon of pessimism, paranoia, and other negative things that begin with P. But here’s what I see happening: Palin, as expected, makes a bunch of mistakes in a cute way and is forgiven for them, because everyone knows she’s unqualified. Biden makes one small slip-up, or perceived slight, and it is …
