Biography


The first play Shores wrote was Cheatin' which premiered in 1984 in Los Angeles at The MainStage Theatre. His second play Daddy's Dyin': Who's Got the Will? saw a 1987 debut in Los Angeles at Theatre/Theater, running twenty-two months to critical acclaim. The comedic play was adapted for the 1990 film of the same title.[1] Shores wrote the screenplay and executive produced the feature.[2]

Perhaps Shores' best known play is his fourth, Sordid Lives, which debuted in 1996 in Los Angeles. The comedy centered on the Texan Ingram family and touched on LGBT themes. In 1999 Shores wrote and directed the screen version of Sordid Lives. Eight years later Shores produced 12 prequel episodes of Sordid Lives: The Series which aired on American LGBT-interest cable channel Logo with a much-anticipated sequel, A Very Sordid Wedding, premiering in 2016 with a mixture of the film and series cast, with Levi Kreis, Emerson Collins, Katherine Bailess, T. Ashanti Mozelle, Dale Dickey, Whoopi Goldberg, Alec Mapa, and Carole Cook joining the cast.

In 2010, Shores debuted his play Yellow at the Coast Playhouse in West Hollywood. During that time, Shores lost his Hollywood Hills home to foreclosure.[3] The play was his most critically acclaimed play, winning Best Production of the Year and Best Original Play from the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle (LADCC).

Shores has two daughters, Caroline and Rebecca, from a previous marriage to Kelley Alexander.

Shores was married to actor, producer Jason Dottley from 2003 to 2013. [4]
