His stage plays have been produced in Manhattan and Milwaukee, and he has directed and presented scholarship in Chicago. His thesis play, THE THREAD THAT SNAPPED, was set in a mental hospital and combining original barbershop music, dialogue, and spoken-word poetry.

He has presented research on the representation of violence on stage and film, the influence of the superhero genre on America, and various dramaturgy cases.
