Biography

The first play Shores wrote was Cheatin' which premiered in 1984 in Los Angeles[3] at The MainStage Theatre. He reprised his role in Tiffany's Attic in Kansas City, MO in 1985 where he co-starred with Leslie Jordan.[2]

His second play Daddy's Dyin': Who's Got the Will? saw a 1987 debut in Los Angeles at Theatre/Theater, running two years to critical acclaim.[4] A movie version by the same name was released in 1990 by MGM starring Beau Bridges, Tess Harper, Judge Reinhold, Keith Carradine, Patrika Darbo, and Beverly D'Angelo.[5] Shores wrote the screenplay and executive produced the feature.[6] Soon after, he signed a television deal with Warner Brothers.[7]

Shores is known for his fourth play, Sordid Lives, which debuted in 1996 in Los Angeles.[8] 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 starring Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, Olivia Newton John, Bonnie Bedelia, and Leslie Jordan.[9] The movie had a running time of ninety-six weeks at the Camelot Theatre in Palm Springs.[10] Shores' play Southern Baptist Sissies had a ten-month run at the Zephyr Theatre in Los Angeles in 2000.[11] Revived in 2002, the same play had another six-month run.[12] Shores directed The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife which was released at the Zephyr Theatre in Los Angeles in 2003.[13] In 2006, Shores revived three of his plays (Sordid Lives, Southern Baptist Sissies, The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife) at the Zephyr Theatre in Los Angeles.[14] He did a national tour starring Dale Dickey, Delta Burke, and Leslie Jordan.[15] In 2008, Shores created, wrote, directed, and executive-produced 12 prequel episodes of Sordid Lives: The Series which aired on American LGBT-interest cable channel Logo[16] 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.[17]
