April 10th and 11th @ 8PM - 4 short plays by 4 up-and-coming Columbia playwrights!
Schapiro Studio - 615W. 115th Street @ Broadway
My play i am the girl with the spun gold hair is being performed, and I am really looking forward to it. Something truly remarkable happened with this tiny, weird little play. It began as just this bizarre little thing I wanted to do, and turned into a really stunning piece of theater. My director (Jess Smith) and cast (Shelley Virginia and Dave Droxler) are amazing and have brought so much into it - they have made it better than I ever could have conceived it to be. I am still worried that the public-at-large will look at it and not get it, but it doesn’t matter, because we created something beautiful, the 4 of us.
Plus, I shouldn’t worry. I had, for so long, been known as the writer that didn’t assume her audience was idiotic. I think it’d be nice to stay that way.
