Thanks so much for stopping by. My creative pursuits include playwriting and screenwriting, and the ensuing collaborations that have made writing the worthy pursuit that it is. As I'm not a director, I'm seeking other collaborators -- producers, directors, actors, agents, managers -- anybody who has a stake in telling compelling stories live onstage. If you'd like to contact me directly to discuss my projects or yours, please e-mail: DonaldTLewis@gmail.com Again, thanks.
