On March 4, Jim played Duke Frederick and Duke Senior in the concert reading of VERY VERY, a new rock musical that reinvents Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT! It was an extraordinary evening in the theatre. Conceived and directed by the amazing Jason King Jones, the astonishingly good and varied music was penned by Zac Lasher (music) and Jay Leibowitz (lyrics). This talented trio deserves to go all the way with this great work of art!

Jim's screenplay, JACK BODEAN, has been selected as a Quarterfinalist in the BlueCat Screenplay Competition! BlueCat is regarded as one of the top ten screenplay competitions in the country.

Here's what JACK BODEAN is about:
