Gary Powell’s First One-man Show
“Maybe I’m It, Maybe I’m Not”
by Gary Powell
This was my first one-man show titled after my book by the same name. The book was written in the early 1980’s as the musings of a young man struggling with learning how to manage a young career burdened with heavy expectations, talent and self-doubt. No doubt this work would have been a blog had they existed in 1982. I never liked having to run the gaunlet of record companies, so I was determined to write a book and publish it without asking any authorities’ permission. “Maybe I’m It, Maybe I’m Not” is that effort. Fifteen years later, I adapted the work into a solo musical performance at Zachary Scott Theatre Center in Austin, Texas and performed it in the Spring of 1997. You can find the reviews of that effort on my main site under the “On Stage” heading.

Still one of my favorite reads. When will we have another?
Thank you, Colleen. “Aristotle’s Prayer” is the second offering. I start workshoping this presentation this fall. (2005) Still personal in nature like Maybe I’m It but hits a little harder. Actually, it hits alot harder. See the “Aristotle’s Prayer” category for details on my experience with writing this show.
