fork this.
Right, so, here are some things that are happening:
First, Forking. Forking is a choose-your-own-adventure play in which the audience determines the outcome of the play by a series of 15-20 votes (it's not always the same number because there are votes that only come up if the play takes certain forks).
You can read the San Francisco Chronicle's preview, and if you're in town, come see the show. It runs through the 31st, and it has been selling out, so get your tickets in advance.
Second, I'm in the Playground writers pool again this year, and I've had a couple of staged readings this season; if you're local, keep an eye on this page to see what the topic is each month and see if I have a script that makes the cut. It's worth coming even if I don't; the shows have been great this season.
Third, I've been commissioned by Playground to write a full-length play (title: Fifty Years Hungry) which just had a table read last Saturday and which will have a staged reading during this year's Best of Playground festival... I'll post a date when I have one. That play is kind of exactly the opposite of Forking in just about every way. Except for there is one scene where they're drinking vodka out of a bottle, but that's it.
Fourth, I just found out the short play that I used as source material to expand to write Fifty Years Hungry has been selected to play at the inspiraTO festival in exotic Toronto, Canada! My first international performance. That's going to be June 4th-13th. They're actually going to post the script on their web site for a few weeks while they do an open call for actors and directors, so you'll be able to stop by and check out the script if you're curious. It's a downer, though, so pick a day when you feel lousy already.
Fifth, I've got a couple of other things coming up, but I'll wait to post about those until the ink is dry. Good stuff, all of it.
With some chagrin I have to admit that lately I've been better about posting events on my um (*cough*facebook*cough*) page, so if you are local and want to stay in the loop on my events, you can, um, friend me.
Happy new President, everyone.
