He has written three screenplays: "Glamour, Please!" and "Bumper Sticker" (with Chuck Pelletier and Joe Howard) and "Upon Deaf Ears." His first musical, "The Green Room," (music and lyrics by Chuck Pelletier and book with Rod Damer), is in preproduction, along with a new version of "Divanalysis."

Lotte Trouble, (aka Veronica Bach) dubbed the "Diva of Dive" by LA Weekly, counts among her blessings, big hair, big feathers and big cleavage! A diva from the hinterlands of Bogaslovia, her act features hilarious songs, clever repartee and Dietrich-style humor. The notorious Lotte Trouble brings you to your knees (and insists you stay there) with looks to kill and style to die for. Entertainment Today had this to say: Lotte Trouble makes James Bondís exploits look like Friar Tuck. Thatís Tuck ‚ with a ëT!í"

The Los Angeles Times raves, "Kitsch at its funniest! The indomitable Miss Peggy Judy just wonít stay down!"
