Cast Announced for Spatter Pattern at Playwrights
Spatter Pattern tracks the story of a screenwriter Frechette who becomes entangled in the life of a university professor Pettie under investigation for a grisly murder. What begins as self-interest soon gives way to empathy, and a bond between men from seemingly opposite worlds inexorably deepens.

His off-Broadway credits include Valhalla, The Dazzle, Hurrah at Last, What The Butler Saw, Raised in Captivity and Night and Her Stars.
