In June (2014), Dominic will be heading to a residency at Berkeley Repertory Theatre’s Ground Floor to work on book & lyrics for the commissioned musical, THE BARBARY COAST about the criminal underworld during the California Gold Rush. Other commissions include the screenplay adaptation for his DANNY CASOLARO DIED FOR YOU, optioned by Caliber Media/Aviation films, book & lyrics for THE WORKING BOYS BAND, currently running at The History Theatre in St Paul, and HAMMER & SICKLE an adaptation of a Don DeLillo story for ArtsEmerson in Boston. Dominic is a two-time Jerome Fellow and McKnight Fellow to the Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis, where he’s a founding producer at The Workhaus Collective, the Center's company-in-residence, co-producing eighteen world premieres since 2007, including his own SHORT PLAY ABOUT GLOBALIZATION (2007), THE SENSE OF WHAT SHOULD BE (2009) and A SHORT PLAY ABOUT 9/11 (2011). In the twin cities he has worked with The Guthrie Theater, The Jungle, Theatre Forever, Red Eye, Off-Leash Area, Teatro Del Pueblo, and the Minnesota Fringe. He’s a co-creator of FISSURES {LOST & FOUND} (with Dominique Serrand, Steve Epp, Nathan Keepers and writers of the Workhaus Collective) which premiered at the 2010 Humana Festival of New American Plays and is published by Dramatic. DANNY CASOLARO DIED FOR YOU will have its Midwest premiere this October at TimeLine Theatre in Chicago.
