What would you do for a million dollars? Taylor Cook answered the ad to find out, a curiosity he would soon come to regret. This short story was archived on the Fringe Magazine, May 6, 2011, but you can still read it free.
“Snake Eyes”
“I looked at this painting not just for the seductive woman depicted but for the character of the piece which caught my eye from across the room. A naked woman holding up a blue towel behind which she hides, peeking out to her left at the bearded men who glare longingly at her … Pigs, I think, but the painting is perfect for the class story. I take out my camera, and line up the shot, but before I can take the picture, a hand touches my elbow . . .”
DirectOR, Playwright, and Producer Experience
“To Be Me”
(c)2010, played in a night of staged readings of new plays. Produced by Floating Theater Company in Middletown, CT.
“To Be Me” was a monologue about finding the courage to start my writing career with my sexual preferences on the outside, rather than hiding inside the closet. You can find the updated version of this monologue in my blog, titled: “Just Be You”.
“The Amazing Dickie”
By playwright, director, and producer Tara McMillen.
Full-length production, which played to sold out crowds in June, 2008 at Odd Duck Studio in Seattle, WA. “The Amazing Dickie” was the 2nd highest selling show of its time at Odd Duck.
“The Amazing Dickie” is a gay play, centering around a rich Bellevue family, over a period of three days while they prepare for a family reunion.

In the center of all the commotion is Steve, 16 years old, attempting to come out to his homophobic mother.
