Upcoming Productions! Some news about where to see my work...

Coming in April

Separation Anxiety, a film I wrote for Glass City Films, will be screened at the River Bend Film Festival in South Bend, Indiana, on April 13th! The film, was shot in 2009 in Columbus and Toledo, Ohio, under the direction of Cole Simon. Separation Anxiety has gone on to screen at several festivals around the country and took home a Golden Drover for Best Director for Cole at the 2011 Trail Dance Film Festival. Glass City is a Chicago-based company that has a slew of feature films, shorts, music videos, and documentaries to their credit --- and they are growing. I'm looking forward to what they do next! A great group of professionals, I encourage you to visit their website to learn more about them. The movie is available on DVD and you can watch the trailer to the right.

Visit The River Bend Film Festival to get tickets and for more information about the April 13th screening and the festival.

Luna Theater Company presents their inaugural new play fest this summer with the Solstice Play Festival and I am thrilled to be involved. Got an email this week from their Literary Manager Jeremy Gable to invite my new 10-minute play, The Cosmonaut in Human Resources, to be part of this week of world premieres!  Cosmonaut was developed in my MFA playwriting seminar this past Fall and I'm excited to have its first staging happen at Luna! Here's a line-up of the shows they're producing in this year's festival:

• Their Master's Voice by Larry Pontius
• The Cosmonaut in Human Resources by Jeremy Sony
• Telltale Signs by Quinn Eli
• Shelly by Alex Dremann
• My Robs by Ron Burch
• Militant by Eoin Carney
• Little World by Joy Cutler
• Inbox: Empty or Airport: Scanning by Kate Brennan
• Homeschooling of Jonathan Anderson by Sean Christopher Lewis
• Cycles of the Moon by Jae Kramisen
  

Of the other playwrights, I've met (and seen the work of) Sean Christopher Lewis. Based on him alone, I'm happy to be in the company of these writers. Congrats to everyone whose work was chosen for the festival and huge thanks to Luna Theater Company for including me. Visit Luna Theater Company's website to keep informed about the festival, how to get tickets, and all that fun.
