On Tuesday, the Writers Guild of America, West will showcase works by the 2013 Writer Access Project Honorees. I will be on stage, working once again with writer and friend Geetika Lizardi (Outsourced). Last year, Geetika was kind enough to use me for her script reading at iO West.
There is a fantastic description of the diversity program here on the WGAW website.
2013 Writer Access Project Honorees
Rear: Thomas Wong, Michael DiGaetano, Dawn Comer Jefferson, Joey Manderino, Joseph Neustein, & Leslie Valdes
Front: Sherry Carnes, Geetika Lizardi, Lena Waithe, & Margaux Froley
It’s us versus The Oscars; I have a feeling we’ll win.
Tonight, we wrap on our six-week run of the original play Happy Face, Sad Face at The Lillian Theater in Hollywood. It’s been a great ride.
I’d like to thank writer RJ Colleary, director Kathleen Rubin, and producer Russell Boast for believing in my before, during, and hopefully after the run.
The cast and crew were are amazing to work with as well. I truly enjoyed playing with my (fake) wife Krizia Bajos, my (fake) mistress Sarah Agor, my (fake) dad Thomas F. Evans, my (fake) mom Perry Smith, and some cop that kept interrupting the show by the name of Eddie Alfano. And, of course, Rob Locke deserves all of the positivity he received for his performance in the show.
I will miss being told to stop touching anything and everything that doesn’t belong to me by our talented and professional stage manager, Rebecca Schoenberg.
Cheers, to the future!
Tom Christensen, Eliza Coupe, Zachary Knighton, & Billy Beck
I don’t know to what extent ABC is using this image for promotion, but @TVGuideMagazine tweeted out this pic yesterday!
From the producers of Happy Face, Sad Face:
I will appear on the ABC comedy Happy Endings next Sunday! The show has been moved to a new time, so make sure you schedule appropriately:
Happy Endings: Sunday, January 6th @10:00 PM on ABC (link to Facebook Event)
Working on this show was my all-time favorite job, thanks to the kind and playful cast and crew. Especially deserving of praise is Eliza Coupe, who plays Jane. I play her friend, and our characters are very similar: preppy, upscale, with Type A personalities.
And be sure to tune in two days later for my appearance on Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23!
Cheers,

Hey everyone!
Remember when I was on this show last year? Neither do I. That’s because some very fine folks decided to let my episode of Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 (“The Scarlet Neighbor“) age like a fine wine, and uncork it in 2013 instead!
In THEORY, I am in this episode. According to that same theory, I interact with stars Krysten Ritter and Dreama Walker, as they search for an eligible bachelor in a NY farmers market.

This will be my first time performing at The Lillian Theatre, and all of our first times performing playwrite Bob Colleary‘s new work.
We are knee-deep in rehearsals with director Kathleen Rubin. Everyone is a joy to work with, and I’m particularly excited about the involved set we are using. Lots of ins and outs, ups and downs, to add to the intrigue :)

Tonight is the first official rehearsal for writer Bob Colleary‘s new play, “Happy Face Sad Face!” We had our final table read last night for the work-in-progress, and I’m the script is coming together wonderfully.
And so the process begins…rehearsals through mid-January, followed by a six-week run at The Lillian Theatre.
I’m excited to jump in and start working with director Kathleen Rubin and the entire ensemble (Krizia Bajos, Tom Christensen, Thomas F. Evans, Karen Kalensky, Rob Locke, Eddie Alfano, & Sarah Agor). And though he claims to be hands-off during the process, I hope to see producer Russell Boast around frequently.
Tickets go on sale NEXT WEEK!
