I just found out that my poem/monologue/playlet THE TRYST BEFORE CHRISTMAS, a slightly raunchy retelling of the classic Twas The Night Before Christmas, was selected to be a part of the Reasonable Facsimile Theatre Company’s 2009 “Another Year and Still No Witty Title Chicago Christmas Spectacular!” I’m thrilled. More information to follow as it comes to me.

So, turns out, after all of my ups and downs with grad school, I will be starting in the Rutger’s MFA Playwriting program in four weeks! Lee Blessing runs the program, and I had the pleasure of getting to know and work with him at the Sewanee Writers Conference in July. And as it turns out, they had an incoming student back out at the last minute, and they needed a replacement. I can’t imagine what the next three years of my life are going to be like, but I know I’m going to make the most of it. New Jersey – here I come!
As part of the reading series Queer Quills, my play, AIR, will be read at the Orlando Center (946 N. Mills Ave., Orlando, FL) this Sunday, August 2nd @ 7pm

Kangagirl Productions and Heidi Dog Productions have resurrected their popular playreading series. Listen to GLBT classics and new works read and directed by some of Central Florida’s finest talent without the trappings of props, costumes, and sets. In the homey comfort of The Center, it’s like watching a play in your own living room! Each reading is followed by an informal chat over refreshments. Readings are the first Sunday of every other month at 7pm. Proceeds from a suggested donation of $5 benefit The Center.
Cast: Nate Bartman, Samantha O’Hare, and Scottie Campbell
This reading would not be possible without the support of John DiDonna, John Sullivan, and Micheal Vance.
