Pumped to be involved in AT RISE: An Evening of First Scenes by local Pittsburgh writers, hosted by the Dramatists Guild at Bricolage!
This event is going to be free, fun, and have beverages and snacks!
Its this Thursday, July 25 at 7:00 PM!
I’d love to see all my cool Pittsburgh friends there!
This production has a lot of really cool stuff!
A) It’s free at Summit Rock in Central Park
B) There is live singing and dancing
C) There is live fiddle, autoharp, guitar, harmonica, and banjo (actually there are 2 banjos!)
D) I wrote it!
I was a finalist for the Core Apprentice Program at the Playwright’s Center this year, with my play EVERYBODY’S DEAD: A COMEDY! Looking forward to applying to work with them again soon. Being originally from MN I am so into the idea of working with PWC!
So excited to share that my play A SHORT LIFE OF TROUBLE: A PLAY WITH APPALACHIAN FOLK MUSIC will be premeiring this summer with Everyday Inferno Theatre, directed by Katie Pedro.
More information about the production is forthcoming, but in the meantime, check out this awesome audition notice in Playbill! Send your actor/singer/banjo or fiddle or appalachian dulcimer-player friends to audition and hang out and make art with me!
Tomorrow Game was one of twelve finalists for the Emerging Playwright Prize from Leah Ryan’s Fund for Emerging Women Writers! Very exciting to be considered among so many great applicants.
My play TOMORROW GAME won the Kennedy Center’s Harold and Mimi Steinberg National Student Playwriting Award, which comes with a big cash prize, option to publish, and the invitation to attend this weeks Student Playwriting Festival–which I did!
And I’m so happy to have met so many wonderful playwrights, directors, and dramaturgs, as well as the many incredibly talented and smart guest artists that came in to work with us on our plays and talk to us about art.
I’m also thrilled to share this video of the 10-minute excerpt of my play that was featured on the Millennium Stage! Check it out (minute 46 is me)!
Could not be more excited to be directing the world premiere of Languagemachine by Lauren D’Errico and Ramin Akhavijou at the Pittsburgh Opera!
We have a limited run of just this weekend, but never fear! If you can’t make it to the show, you can watch the live webcast here:
