About Me :
I'm a grownup nerd living in the Boston burbs. I write computer programs for a living and plays for fun.
I'm married to a wonderful woman, and we share a nice little house with our daughter and our cats.
I'm a humanist, a technologist, an artist, and an idealist. I believe in reason, freedom, love, equality,
and democracy. (Did I mention that I'm
an idealist? I did, OK.)
I'm also a pragmatist and an empiricist. I reject ideology and dogma, especially when they conflict with
practical facts (i.e., pretty much always). I particularly hate willful ignorance, which tends to go hand-in-hand
with ideology and dogma.
Like the alignment of the planets, this blog gets updated as I have the time, inspiration, and inclination to do so.

Call For Actors
I am seeking 4-6 actors, evenly balanced between men and women, for a play reading at the Hovey Players in Waltham on April 25th. This is informal, as the script is a first draft, and the work is unpaid, but I will buy dinner, it's a fun script, and the folks at Playwrights' Platform are always looking to meet new actors, with an eye toward future projects.
The play is called American Rex, and it's a highly theatrical political satire/dark comedy. I am still working on the first draft, so there will be no rehearsals and you will have the play in hand only a few days before the reading -- but don't worry, there's no pressure. My goal in this reading is to hear the words in someone else's voice to let me judge whether I'm achieving the tone I set out to achieve.
For a sample of my work see My Writings Page (www.pbrennan.net/writings). American Rex will most closely resemble First Person Shooter in tone, but I am trying to make A.Rex more practical to produce and funnier. I will be happy to send you a sample of the play upon request.
