Other plays produced in 2003 were ''The Mystery Plays'' in New York, which had won a writing award the previous year from the [[Kennedy Center]], and a hit production of ''Say You Love Satan'' at the 2003 [[New York International Fringe Festival]].
 
Playwriting continued along with [[comic-book]] writing, with several productions of new and old works. In 2006, his semi-autobiographical ''Based Onon Aa Totally True Story'' (about a comic-book writer/playwright struggling with new-found success and boyfriend problems) was staged at the prestigious [[Manhattan Theatre Club]] in New York. When asked by ''[[The Advocate (LGBT magazine)|The Advocate]]'', "Which came first, being a comic-book geek or being gay?" he answered, "I would say I was probably a comic-book geek before I knew anything about being gay or straight. I certainly loved superheroes before I knew I was gay..." He also noted the play was, "thankfully", not about his current boyfriend.<ref>{{citation|journal=[[The Advocate (LGBT magazine)|The Advocate]]|date=April 25, 2006|issue=961 |issn=0001-8996|title=SuperPowered|page=59|publisher=Here|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T2UEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA59}}</ref>
