A Fictional Character Wrote His Creator’s Biography — And the Book Is Free

BUILDING THE STAGE

The Unauthorized Life of Robert Jerome Pagan — Part One

Written by Oscar J. Evans

Robert Jerome Pagan created Oscar J. Evans.

That was probably his first mistake.

Now Oscar has Robert's notes, his history, his artistic record, and entirely too much confidence.

Building the Stage is an unauthorized artistic biography of director, writer, producer, teacher, filmmaker, and creator Robert Jerome Pagan—told by one of his own fictional creations.

This is not a conventional celebrity biography.

It is the story of how an artist gets built: the teachers, rehearsal rooms, theaters, arguments, failures, productions, institutions, cities, relationships, strange jobs, impossible schedules, political battles, and creative obsessions that eventually became a body of work.

From childhood theater and conservatory training to directing, filmmaking, queer arts, teaching, audio drama, independent production, and the creation of worlds like Trillberry, Oscar attempts to answer one very simple question:

Where did all of this come from?

Unfortunately for Robert, Oscar has opinions.
