Living Room Read of ACHILLES This Sunday

Just got done with my last bit of rewriting of ACHILLES for the living room read this Sunday! I’m excited… Yes I have an obscene amount of people on the stage… Yes it’s 136 pages…. And no, I don’t have a title for it yet… But this beast will be read, and I need your help to hear it! If you’re free, and able to get to Pacifica this Sunday at 6pm (we’ll be having a potluck at 6, then reading at 7), please email me!

Now to make many copies of my whale sized script…

Announcing Playwrights for Women in Solodarity: Cat Ladies

We are ready to shout announce the playwrights for this year’s All Terrain Theater’s Women In Solodarity: Cat Ladies show. Here are the playwrights with pieces in this year’s show:

Maura Halloran will be performing a section of her solo show Pussy that was featured in last year’s DIVAfest. Theresa Donahoe will also be performing a solo piece that she has written. And our wonderful writers who have contributed pieces that actors will perform include, Tracy Held Potter, Carol Lashof, Patricia Milton, Susan Sobeloff, and me, Rachel Bublitz.

I am also directing this year, something that I’m both excited and terrified about. It’s been about… Seven years since I’ve directed something. I’m very grateful that I’ve been given this opportunity to get my directing groove back. Let’s hope it’s just like riding a bike!

So Pumped for Women in Solodarity

Earlier today we had auditions for All Terrain Theater’s upcoming showcase Women In Solodarity: Cat Ladies. And while I’m not ready to announce the cast, I will announce to the world how happy I am with auditions! We had some powerhouse performers come in and it’s sad that we had to say no to anyone. The other great part of this morning was that for the first time I got to hear these fresh new pieces out loud, and let me tell you, the writing this year is excellent… And I’m not just saying that because I wrote one of the monologues… I guarantee that you will not want to miss this show.

Stay tuned because we’ll be announcing the full cast list as well as the writers involved very soon!
