Good news! Dead Angel will have a five-week run at the Whitefire out in the San Fernando Valley. Here's the straight skinny from the Whitefire website and the Dramatists Guild online newsletter:
The Iranian Mullahs needn't worry about any further US interference as all Americans pause to mourn the tragic and untimely passing of a prominent pedophile.
Just got an email from John Lant, the head honcho at Write Act Repertory. Attached to the email were scans of the postcard front and back for the upcoming one-act fest. Looks pretty damn good, doncha think?
Oh, and by the way, here's my actress. She emailed me, told me she really likes my play. I love it when they say they like my play. Don't ever tell people flattery doesn't work. 'Cause it does...
I wrote this letter-to-the-editor to the OC Metro in 2004 in response to an article on Paul Folino's fund-raising endeavors to benefit the South Coast Repertory Theatre.
The letter, in retrospect, was probably too snarky and certainly too bitchy. But the point was (and is) valid.
Theatres like the SCR will survive. They have the support of the community bigwigs who will always give to "The Arts" because they want to appear cultured and refined, even when they're not.
But the struggling small theatrical entities will always remain under your basic OC billionaire's radar. I'm talking about the theatres that operate out of storefronts in the inner city. Theatres where the members of the company work for no pay.
These are the ones who take the risks and carry on for the love of the art. But nothing is forever. And sadly, when one of them gives up the ghost, nobody seems to notice, or care.
We have maybe eleven theatres that do live stage in the OC. We used to have twelve, but the Rude Guerrilla just shut its doors. The landlord raised the rent and...well, you get the picture.
It happens. It's too bad when it does. I'll miss it. RIP, RG.
So this was last Friday's front page of our local throwaway, The Ladera Post...
...despite the fact there was a really juicy incident in our community worthy of front page coverage. Seems a mother of two right here in Ladera Ranch was arrested on suspicion she murdered her millionaire boyfriend back in her former life. Now that deserves front page with a pic. But no! The Humpty-Dumpties at the OC Register kicked it to page 3 and led with a real yawner about Adam and Steve, still shell-shocked by the flak from Prop 8, trying to lead lives of quiet desperation in the OC.
This calls for a letter to the editor...
News update. The Ladera Post ran the letter. They left out the "grow some cojones" line, but hey, I got my name in the paper. And in the end, isn't that what really counts?
