I'm a director for theatre, used to be an actor but now I'm not. I direct a lot of original work, and big stupid comedies. I'd like to do more musicals. So I guess I'm looking for the next great original musical comedy. I'm pretty career-minded right now, working production at my old grad school while pursuing directing.

I'm pretty shy and quiet until I get comfortable (or drunk) with you. A good night out for me is in a dive bar drinking cheap shots with a group of friends. I like to dance, but to songs, not house music (I'm not a huge fan of big clubs). I'm in love with my DVR, but I think it's pulling away from me. I like video games, and hours can slip away without me noticing. I like a lot of things considered geeky - comics, sci-fi - but I try not to let them rule my life. I often fail at that.

I'm an atheist. I get along fine with religious folks, but I'm definitely not one of them.

I come from a big family, and my nieces and nephews are very important to me.

I have a dark and dirty sense of humor.

Essentially, I'm a godless pinko homo leftie.

If meeting as "friends," just about anyone.

If meeting as "dating/relationship men," I prefer guys who are neither afraid of the gay scene nor all about it. Someone who's equally comfortable in an East Village gay bar or a straight Irish pub. I really don't care about straight-acting/gay-acting, just be comfortable with whoever you are. You don't have to be an artist, but you have to be passionate about something in your life (or at least trying to figure out what you're passionate about). Someone who shares some of my interests and absolutely doesn't share others. To say looks don't matter is always a lie, but I don't really have a type, and I'm attracted to a very broad range of guys, so I'll say traditional good looks don't really matter (although there's nothing wrong with them, either).

If meeting as "activity partners" - I'm not really sure what that means. My mom quilts. Wanna meet my mom?
