My short “Triple Sec” will be at The Manhattan Repertory Theatre (303 West 42nd Street) from May 7-11, taking part in their Spring One Act Competition.
“Remembering Elizabeth” is a part of Boston Theater Marathon XV.
And, I’m having a show of my work called “Tales of Attraction and Distraction” at The Actor’s Studio of Newburyport May 10-18.

February 27th, 2013 by

Please join us for an evening with Kate Snodgras from 6:30 to 8:00 at Lasell College in the Winslow Sargent Room 201 on March 10, 2013. Kate is Artistic Director of Boston Playwrights’ Theater and a professor of play writing at Boston University as well as the Producer of the Boston Theatre Marathon. She has asked that attendees come with ideas that they have for full length plays they would like to write, that are not fully developed yet, and will have an interactive dialog with us around these ides as well as play writing in general. We had a great time with Kate when she joined us last year. Please RSVP to me by March 9, 2013 by replying to this email so we can have an accurate count of who will be attending. I will order pizza and we will have soft drinks. Phyllis, please pass this along to the AIR membership as well. It should be a fun and informative evening and we look forward to seeing you all there. Following Kate will be a reading of a play by Hortense.

Exploring the Craft and the Mysteries of Playwriting: A Monthly Master Class with Lila Rose Kaplan

Nov 15, 2012 :

Hi George,

I was wondering if you could pass this along to the Playwrights Platform members. There is an interesting workshop class on playwriting being offered at the Gamm Theatre in Pawtucket, RI (about an hour from Newton on 95 South). It meets once a month for six months, starting in January.

I’ve taken classes at the Gamm before, and they are excellent.

Exploring the Craft and the Mysteries of Playwriting: A Monthly Master Class with Lila Rose Kaplan

Class meets the second Monday of the month from 6:30pm-9:30pm
Jan 14, Feb 11, March 11, April 8, May 13, and June 10

In this monthly workshop, students will develop a new full length-play. Writing exercises will provoke imagination and tighten the craft. Each month students will bring 10-20 pages from their new play to be discussed and critiqued in class and to receive expert feedback. Students will be given writing exercises to prompt new pages. This class will help develop a writing routine and the monthly deadline will help keep students focused and working on their projects. Students will leave this workshop with new tools and a new full-length play. The last class session will include a final showcase of student work. On your mark. Get set. Write.

Roxbury Repertory Theater Presents The Diary of Anne Frank featuring talkback with Playwright Wendy Kesselman

Area Events

Cost: $10.00 – Registration is required.
$5 for students and seniors.

November 02, 2012—08:00 PM to 10:30 PM

Roxbury Community College Mainstage, 1234 Columbus Avenue,
Boston, MA 02120

Playwright Wendy Kesselman’s powerful adaptation and an ensemble of diverse actors tell an urgent and contemporary story, linking the poignancy of Anne’s diary to genocide then and now. Kesselman will lead a talkback at the 8 p.m. performance on Friday November 2.

Performed without intermission, each performance will feature a story by a survivor of genocide from such times and places as the Holocaust, Rwanda and Darfur. We learn how the story of this diary, and the Holocaust of European Jews, have not ended humankind’s bent toward hatred and genocide.

Performances will premiere new text by the playwright and will feature an inspired set design by scenographer Mirta Tocci.

Thursday November 1: 10 AM matinee, 8 PM evening

Friday November 2: 10 AM matinee, 8 PM evening (Meet Playwright Wendy Kesselman)

Saturday November 3: 2 PM matinee, 7 PM evening
