CTG Writers' Workshop
I recently joined Center Theatre Group's 2011-2012 Writers' Workshop. Seven playwrights meet over the course of the year, each working on a new play informed by professionals in the Los Angeles community. I'm working on a new play about culture and architecture called Sustainable Living.
Froggy at The Banff Centre and A.C.T.
This fall has been busy with music and staging for Froggy with director Matt M. Morrow and composer Nathan Leigh. In October we traveled back to The Banff Centre, where Nathan composed an amazing soundtrack. (LISTEN HERE TO DEMOS!) This December we continued our work during a workshop at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Special thanks to Kelly Robinson at The Banff Center and Carey Perloff at A.C.T. for their continuing commitment to the piece.
