She was big. Too big.
The Sunset Project, which I produced and host, is a series podcast exploring the behind-the-scenes story of the musical Sunset Boulevard, tracing the creative process, tensions, and decisions that shaped one of the last great mega-musicals. With more than 70,000 downloads, the podcast brings together deep research and firsthand accounts to offer a clear, thoughtful look at how the show came to life. It’s become a trusted resource for theatre fans and historians interested in the realities of making large-scale musical theatre.
“[The Sunset Project] is a f*cking delight. So well researched, formatted, paced. And I cannot stress this enough: well-written.”
“Best Broadway podcast I’ve listened to in years.”
“I was on edge the entire time - I binged it!”
It’s never too late.
Later in Life explores reinvention, rediscovery, and the courage to begin again. Through conversations with people pursuing new passions, creative dreams, career pivots, and personal transformations later in adulthood, the show highlights what becomes possible when you decide it’s not too late.
“Bob is an excellent host who take you on the adventures of people starting new chapters in their lives - and it’s an absolute joy!”
“…the wholesome confidence of overhearing the most delightful conversations in your favorite coffee shop.”
The Storm
The Storm is a one-act play I wrote that centers on memory, caregiving, grief, and the fragile connections that hold us together during moments of change. Intimate in scope, the play focuses on small interactions and unspoken truths as its characters navigate loss, responsibility, and love. The Storm will premiere at Anaconda Ensemble Theatre in Montana in Spring 2027.

HuffPo and other areas
I’ve written about theatre and Chicago’s cultural scene for outlets including HuffPost, Choose Chicago, NBC 5 Chicago, and the Edge Media Network – spotlighting the artists, productions, and moments that make the city’s creative life pulse. My work lived at the intersection of performance, place, and people, with a focus on why live, local culture matters.
