North Shore Readers' Collaborative Theater, cofounder
The Reader's Collaborative Theater is the joint venture of Ron Pullins, Leslie Powell and Marc Clopton. It is devoted to advanced development of plays and theater on Boston's North Shore. We currently sponsor a Saturday morning Readers' Theater series which are scheduled monthly September through June at Marc Clopton's Actor's Studio at the Tannery in Newburyport. Audience development is encouraged through a talk back following each play.

Leaky Roof Productions
    Leaky Roof is a production company committed to producing dramatic works. An earlier incarnation with Leslie Powell and myself was the vehicle for the production of Five Sleazy Pieces during the Late Night Series at the Player's Ring in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in 2004.
   Leaky Roof produced a NE Fringe version of The Movie Mogul, starring Tim Diering, Jack Rushton, and Gina Columbo in 2008. The play then moved to the Actor's Studio in Newburyport for a three play weekend, along with a short play by Jeff Onore.
