Our latest VIDEO is based on our audio-only play, "The Gods in the Pentagon”  OR "Dr. Strange-Body" (36 minutes); it's now on our YouTube channel--inspired by Stanley Kubrick's film, "Dr. Strangelove" (1964).  Kubrick was/is my favorite film director.

"Color Me BIGOT" (Comedy)

Performed LIVE over the radio and Internet at WUSB-90.1 FM on Memorial Day 2002.  It was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film, "Dr. Strangelove."  This track/MP3  is NOT the full version (this is an excerpt).  I also wrote a stage play and screenplay version of this play   (all my plays are copyrighted & WGA-protected).

IF a motion picture studio wants to produce my play... I'll provide them with my full script and/or the full radio play version.

My radio play differs from Kubrick's film in that it has the following... and MORE:
A. A lady president of the USA.
B.  A "talking" computer.
C.  Dogfights.
D.  An order is given to pray for a jet plane to crash & burn.
E.  Unethical gambling.
F.  The screenplay version has an "angel" in the narrative.
G.  The screenplay has insurrection, COINTEL Program, racism.... 
H.  The screenplay & stage play mention Israel's attack on the USS Liberty in international waters on June 8, 1967 murdering 34 U.S. sailors and wounding 174 sailors aboard that ship (SEE my interview of a survivor of that attack... Mr. Ernie Gallo).
 
There is a video version of my play on my YouTube Channel:

"The Gods in the Pentagon" / "Dr. Strange-Body" (Black Comedy excerpt)

The late Philip Rogers played Nigel Thaddeus Blistermeyer in Xcursion Radio Theatre's comedy/satire series (five plays so far).  Philip played the "Big Board" sentient computer in my play, "The Gods in the Pentagon," a Scottish accent and British accents in a few of my plays.  Norman Glanzman used the Groucho Marx voice in Dr. Hygeine."  Norm performed the voices of Humphrey Bogart, Rodney Dangerfield, Boris Karloff, Abbott (of Abbott & Costello fame), Jack Benny, and other accents. DO YOU SEE WHY I LIKE ACTORS WHO CAN DO CELEBRITY IMPRESSIONS/VOICES?

Ball-Buster Video  (Commercial satire)

Cyclone Seeder

Horrible little thing I whipped up, skipped many absolutely horrible and poorly written parts. Excuse the audio quality:)

The Sense in Nonsense

Why are you listening to literally any of this? Lowkey not going to do any of the horrible ideas I just had. Nope. Not at all.
