If you saw Puppy Love and thought, “Wow! I really would love to write a story or a show like that!” I can help. I am offering one-on-one consultations to help you develop any story or creative idea into something more concrete. Learn some of the processes I used to complete a one-hour solo show all in my spare time, typically less than an hour a day! For more info or to sign up for a session email me at info@exubs.com
Each camp is 1 week of diving into the four main building blocks of musical theater: music, dance, storytelling and creating an ensemble. Each day, our dynamic ensemble of campers will learn songs, dances and scenes pulled from some of broadway’s most impactful works over the last decade! On the last day of each session, campers will present a showcase for their friends and family to enjoy! More info and sign up: https://www.actlivenow.com/summer-camp.html
About 2 years ago I decided I wanted to write a spoof on the werewolf genre—what if, instead of turning a person into a ferocious monster, magic turned someone into a harmless puppy—or werepuppy?
I originally conceived the idea as a film script, but the more I developed the project, I realized that the completion of a film with this level of fantasy would require some serious special effects and computer graphics—but perhaps I could convert the story to a live theatre show and let my audience’s imaginations fill in the gaps!
The result is Puppy Love.
Fringe Theatre Festivals are a great way to see artists pushing the edges of live performances and this year was no different! Thanks to all who came out to my solo show, Puppy Love! If came to see it but you didn’t fill out a survey about the show and you’d like to, you still can here.
The April Act4Fun class is scheduled to start again June 19, 2024 in Liberty Station San Diego. To get more information visit Point Loma Playhouse website: https://www.actlivenow.com/act4fun.html

Can he break the curse and find true love? Audiences will be taken on a wild comedic journey as solo performer Sean A. Mulvihill embodies a colorful cast of characters in this delightful production.

Wow! We’ve been in San Diego one year and we couldn’t be happier about it. We’ve taught improv, sketch, acting, physical theater, and screenwriting. We’ve performed onstage at Mockingbird Improv and Finest City and coached actors for Music Pillars and Trinity Theatre Company. We also had a community impov jam at Mission Beach Park several times and got to know some of the amazing talent in the local community over the past year.
It is fitting that we moved to San Diego during theatre month! Go check out some shows this month: sandiegotheatremonth.com
If you’re in the San Diego area and looking for a fun night out on the town, come by Hillcrest’s Finest City Improv for some laughs. It’s cheap and they have a full bar. Sean performs on select Saturday nights with the house team Fjordache. Tickets at https://www.finestcityimprov.com
Artistic Director Sean A. Mulvihill is leading a weekly physical theatre workout at the Trinity Theatre in Mission Valley Mall. For sign up info visit trinityttc.org
