I’m very proud to say that my historical drama “I and the Emperor” is a semifinalist in an annual new play festival sponsored by the American Association of Community Theatre (AACT)!

“I and the Emperor” is a recent play of mine from earlier this year concerning Napoleon Bonaparte and his unlikely relationship with a young girl while on exile in the South Atlantic at the end of his life.

This is the third time a play of mine has been recognized by AACT as they’ve navigated through a mountain of (hundreds of) new scripts every year. (My other plays “Fifteen Men in a Smoke-Filled Room” and “The Footsteps of God” were also given a nice nod by the group in 2013 and 2018, respectively – with “Fifteen Men” being recognized within the top 20 scripts.)

Many thanks to AACT again for their kind consideration!
