“Electra” in October 2025

I’m very pleased to say that Theater23 of Knoxville has officially announced their 2025 theatrical season, which will include the production of my historically flavored drama “The Last Flight of the Electra” among a set of four other plays, with my play being one of two premieres during the season.

While the dates are being finalized, “Electra” will be produced next October – and almost just as interesting is where the play will be produced – namely, The Historic Grove Theater in Oak Ridge, TN – which was built some 80 years ago to entertain workers associated with the Manhattan Project.

At the time of its opening in 1944, The Historic Grove Theater could seat 1,000 people – back when ticket prices were $.35 for an adult (goodness) – and then, after subsequently closing down and falling into some disrepair, the theater was renovated and reopened in 2007.

Again, many thanks to Theater23 and its Artistic Director, Tom Eubanks!

I’m looking forward to seeing “Electra” next October!
