EGO-BOOSTER NUMBER 6...

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...




Opening night is June 26th. Write it down...

EGO-BOOSTER NUMBER 5

In some of my previous posts, I mentioned that I once worked for the US government. That's right. I was a Fed. And working for the government is mostly boring work. Dull. Really, really dull. Dull workspaces, dull people, dull assignments. Don't let anyone tell you different.

But occasionally, very occasionally, something interesting happens. And if you're lucky enough to be there, it leaves a mark.

Here's my "something interesting." One of my colleagues was cheating on his wife. He and this woman (who, by the way, was cheating on her husband) would spend nights in a hotel room whenever they happened to be "on the road" together.

One night, sometime in the wee hours, she died. Or to put it another way, the next morning he woke up. And she didn't.

Hey, it happens. You just hope it doesn't happen to you.

And now for the mark it left. I decided to write a one-act play (without naming names, of course) on the subject of cheating, deception, betrayal, death. And, oh yes, honesty. Got to have honesty in there. Add a dollop of fantasy. Toss in a sprig of whimsy for good measure. And voilà!

I call it Dead Angel. And it will be produced by Write Act up in Hollywood in June and July...

BENNETT COHON & THE FREEWAY SERIES...

A nice ego-booster out of the blue.

Bennett Cohon directed my play, Dead Angel, back in 2005 up in Hollywood.



He spotted my blog on the internet and emailed me, said he remembered Dead Angel, liked it a lot and would I be interested in submitting something for Write Act Repertory's Freeway Series? I sent him Team Player, Thank You and Missing. Information about these plays (and others) can be found here.

For more info on the Freeway Series, click here. Some good people involved: Herman Poppe, Dan Roth, Dennis Safren, EM Lewis, Richard Martin Hirsch.

Stay tuned...
