"Magellanica" monologues in the Drew University Congress on Ecstatic Naturalism

And now, for something completely different!  

On April 13, I worked with Sloane Drayson-Knigge and a wonderful little cohort of actors to present monologues from my play "Magellanica" to the philosophers who were attending the Congress on Ecstatic Naturalism at Drew University.  I visited Sloane's "Women in Theater" class at Drew last year, as well as an undergraduate theater class.  This was a different kettle of fish, but very enjoyable, always, to work with actors on characters and voice and help them more fully inhabit the lives they are living on stage.  They did a great job.  I think the philosophers liked it!

I have a piece in "Here, There & Everywhere" -- a festival of monologues by women playwrights that celebrates International Women's Day -- happening at Key City Public Theater in Port Townsend, Washington on March 7-8, 2011.
