Upcoming in spring of 2017!

Lots of fun projects coming up in March!

APPLE SEASON
Next up: A staged reading of "Apple Season" in the Women's Playwrights Initiative at Ivoryton Playhouse in Connecticut! If you're in Connecticut, come on out and see us!  There will be readings and talkbacks and refreshments... It's going to be grand. Looking forward to exploring this play with my director and actors.  Click here for more info!

THE GUN SHOW
Immediately after the festival in Connecticut, I'm going to jump on a train and head down to Richmond, Virginia to participate in another festival!  On Saturday, March 11th, Cadence Theatre Company and TheatreLAB will present two shows for the first “Empathy in Action: a Social Justice Theatre Project,” a project of Cadence Theatre Company’s Sitelines program to be held at Maggie Walker Governor's School from 3pm-6:30pm.  A student panel will facilitate a discussion after each show.  Admission is free and open to the public, (first come, first seated).  I get to work with two fantastic theater artists on this: director Laine Satterfeld and actor Bostin Christopher. If you're in Richmond, please join us for an afternoon of theater, conversation, and community. Click here for more info!

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE CASE OF THE FALLEN GIANT (OPERA)
And the third fabulous and exciting thing that I'll be working on in March is the opera!! A week-long workshop of the family-friendly opera that composer Evan Meier and I have been working on with American Lyric Theater will culminate in a public performance at Merkin Concert Hall in New York City. Click the link for tickets! We hope you'll join us.
