The Missouri Academy of Staged Combat has gotten some great press lately (we were featured on the television show SHOW ME ST. LOUIS). Marble Stage Theatre Company in St. Louis is producing my dramatization of THE FROG PRINCE. It will run each Saturday at noon in February. I have been put in charge of what will be a fairly major WILD WEST STUNT SHOW in Minnesota and Arizona.
