I received word that my play The Love Songs of Brooklynites was named a semifinalist for B Street Theatre's New Comedies Festival.
Unfortunately, the play did not advance to the next round, so it will not be produced in Sacramento in the near future. Still, it's a good sign, I suppose.
The Love Songs of Brooklynites tells the story of Chuck, who has just moved in when his neighbor Abbie harasses him for mail misdirected to his apartment. As Abbie falls into his life, she introduces him to stress baking, computer coding, and the poetry of a city that's still trying to revise itself.
The piece had a staged reading as a part of Emerging Artists Theatre's New Work Series. Its first act subsequently received a workshop by the Theatre of Western Springs, which more recently presented my new play After an Earlier Incident.
A full-length version of the piece had a reading by Vivid Stage in New Jersey, and it's ready for a full production. If you're interested in the piece, let me know!
