"When offered to turn my writing into a NYC play, naturally I was flattered. But I initially turned it down because plays, musicals, and slam poetry just isn't me. I'm snowboards, sportbikes, and Bulldogs. Then after talking with a friend, I started to wonder if I turned down the NYC theater writing gig too early. It's good to do things out of your comfort zone, right? So I decided to do it, like a big cannonball into the water!"
Since then I completed my first draft and promised to keep everyone updated on how the playwright project is coming along. So today I'm happy to not only announce the next step, but to invite YOU along for the ride as well!
THE BLOGGER PLAYS: The Adventure Begins
Effabe Arts has gone out and searched the web to find NINE new and exciting writers to give us NINE new short plays! THE BLOGGER PLAYS will be having it's first (very informal) reading on Wednesday, December 9th. It will be at the official bar of Effable Arts - Bar One And One at 7pm (directions). We will be asking actors and potential directors to come, read, comment, and help our writers in the next steps to getting these bad-ass scripts ready for the stage. Please RSVP and let us know what you're interested in doing. We hope to see you all there!
