This is a Television Pilot Package, specifically a 1/2 hour dramedy about "a struggling community theater, presented in 5-episode arcs each based on a well-known musical."I wrote "THE BARN" several years ago, well before the coupling of Song and Series began to dominate the televised landscape. Perhaps that's why, at the time, this particular programming barn was never "raised".It would still be a risky venture, mainly because of its unique format.And because in tel...

While Mr. Charles Dickens endeavoured, I, a poor relation across tide and time, am left but to endeavor. His Ghostly little book did not put any readers out of humour, though mine might find some who wish to lay it. May the Spirit that animates it, and the season, yet pleasantly haunt its tidings of Redemption. A faithful Caroller, William Todd.

What if you could start over?What if you could wipe the slate clean - your entire past, gone - and begin a new life?That's the idea behind "REBORN":A lonely man, struck by lightning, loses all memory of the past. Or is he just using the accident as an excuse to start over?"REBORN" is a comedy of "un-inhibition" with something to say about the choices we make in life. Its star is an ordinary man offered an extraordinary opportunity.The real star, howe...

This is a television pilot package, specifically a 1/2 hour comedy series that offers "a behind-the-scenes look at a locally-funded travel show that reports from destinations around the world on a VERY low budget."Ironically, it was written just before the proliferation of unscripted TV.Not so ironically, it was written "on spec" (speculation), meaning no one hired me to develop this concept. I did it because I liked it. Thought it had potential.Still do.It'...

A Comedy about Zen Buddhism? Hai!Or maybe "Haiku":Art Westin goes East;A Salesman who finds The Light;Occidentally.Or even more "Occidentally":Art Westin - high-strung, plugged-in, always-selling - is forced to spend a week in a Japanese Zen monastery......where he encounters a unique koan ("riddle") of philosophy and phunny......culminating in a moment of satori ("insight") that changes his life.But will this enlightenm...

It ain't dinner theater."TRIVIAL PURSUITS" is a 3-act, 4-character, 1-set play that asks: "How much can an audience learn about a bunch of guys who are sitting around a table playing a board game?" Because that's about the only action taking place on stage.Unless you count the struggle for Timmy's soul.TIMMY is the timid host of this week's gathering, which includes buddies TOM, the skirt-chaser; ROD, the logic-monger; and BEAR, the large and shambling animal – four...

Choir, listen to the pitch:A diverse chorus of teenagers unite during a whirlwind musical tour of Europe."Y.M.I." stands for "Young Musicians International", based on an actual organization I traveled with during my own teenage years. The idea was to "promote fellowship through the international language of music".At least, in theory.In practice, fellowship WITHIN the group was hard enough to maintain, while concerts were often the LAST thing on the mind of ...

Which would you choose?Perfect fantasy?Or real, but imperfect, love?That's the question "THE CYBERJACK" sets out to answer.Here's the logline:In the near future, a scientist seeks to create Virtual Reality, and tests his theory by wiring his own brain.Now, before the word "scientist" conjures up irreparable images of math and sterility, let me hasten to point out that, like many consumer technologies, Virtual Reality will initially be driven ...
