Earlier this year, the City of Grove City, Ohio, commissioned me to write a new play for 2015 to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of Jackson Township and the role that Grove City has played in its history and development. While the full play will premiere next Spring, the city is working with their hometown theater, the Little Theatre Off Broadway (LTOB), to present a first look preview of the play at this weekend's Arts in the Alley festival.

We're not doing the full play, yet; instead, we're doing about 20 or so minutes of the opening of the play. It's a chance for us to share a bit of what I've been working on, and to have some fun at an arts festival showcasing how we're celebrating Grove City and Jackson Township through our art.

In an added bit of fun, my wife and I will be on stage playing two of Grove City's earliest residents. We don't get to share the stage that often, so I'm looking forward to that. We're practically doing cameos, which makes it more fun. We'll leave the heavy lifting to the talented actors of LTOB and Grove City. 

*Name This Play
As part of the development and spirit of making this a Grove City play, the Grove City Historical Commission is sponsoring a contest to help us find a name for this new play! Individuals attending the Arts in the Alley previews can suggest a name for the play; the winner receives dinner for two at a local restaurant!

It's been a great pleasure working on this play thus far; and although I can't share the full story with you until next Spring, I'm thrilled that Grove City and LTOB are bringing this first look to the stage. And all during an arts fest celebrating its 35th year. They're calling for an absolutely beautiful weekend in Grove City, like high 70s/low 80s, so please come and enjoy the arts festival and stop by LTOB for one of our six performances of the first look of the Grove City Play. See you in the theater!
