I am happy to say that the readings for Moving Arts Theatre's MADLab Play Development Program are finally here! It's been a weird ride -- the pandemic hit in the middle of our second draft rewrites and readings, and we all had to adapt to doing things online. But we got through it! Happy to be in such good company! You can reserve (free!) tickets here.

The schedule is:

Sunday, October 25th, 2:00 pm - The Light at Arles by Robert Menna
Sunday, October 25th, 4:30pm - Reset by Howard Ho

Sunday, November 1st, 6:00 pm - Hello, My Name Is... by Amy Dellagiarino

All times are in the Pacific Time Zone!

Happy to announce that my second made-for-streaming play, A Conversation Through the Bathroom Door will have it's world premiere with Dark Horse Theatre on Saturday, November 7th at 8pm EST.

A pandemic isn't going to keep the theatre down! Happy to share my first production with Dark Horse since becoming their Playwright in Residence: Spirit Seekers. A comedy written especially for Zoom (since we all live on Zoom now), Spirit Seekers follows an amateur group of ghost hunters as they camp out in the haunted and infamous Hunterville House, only to end up encountering more than they bargained for. 

Directed by Natasha Parnian

I am so excited to share that I have just been named the resident playwright with Dark Horse Theatre Company in Virginia! Dark Horse was the theatre that produced the regional premiere of The Value of Moscow back in 2018, and I couldn't be happier to collaborate with them once more!

Due to everything that's happening in the world right now, most theatre has been trying to figure out how to transition to an online forum, and I'm excited to say that I will be penning several plays for Dark Horse that will be written specifically for this format! (No plays about plagues, I promise.) Check back for updates -- should be fun!

I am a lucky playwright to have not one but TWO plays being read at Theatre of Note's Ink and Drink this coming weekend!

THE HOSTAGE SITUATION:
Saturday, 3/14 at noon

CLOWNFISH:
Sunday, 3/15 at 5:00 pm

Both readings take place at Theatre of Note (1517 N. Cahuenga Blvd) and are FREE! Stop on by for some laughs and existentialism! 

So excited to finally be able to announce that I am one of four lucky playwrights to be accepted into Moving Arts Theatre's 2020 MADLab Play Development Series! We will be developing a completely new, full-length play through a series of readings and workshops, culminating in a public reading in September 2020.  Stay tuned!
