Just a quick note to let you know (or remind you) that Scott and I will be appearing this evening on Paul Antokolsky and Leslie Hearn’s cable program,
Taking Care, in part to promote the Playwrights’ Platform Summer Festival.

The date for the TV show is Wednesday, May 30th, between 6 and 7pm. Your segment will be a 30-40 minute joint interview, in which we can discuss your play and the festival, playwriting as an art and a craft, your experiences and goals as a playwright – whatever most interests you about writing for the stage. My co-host (and wife), Leslie Ahern, will also take part in the interview.

The program is produced by BNN-TV at their studios in Egleston Square in Roxbury, with off-street parking available. The show is transmitted live by cable and over the internet, and is then repeated on Friday and Sunday.
