There are times in your life where you just want to pinch yourself because everything around you is so unbelievably amazing. I just experienced that with the Kennedy Center’s American College Theater Festival in Washington D.C. where my play Battle Cry received two amazing awards. But, awards aside, I spent five days with some of the most brilliant young career artist exploring different aspects of theater. We had intimate conversations with world renown artists like Kirsten Greenidge and the ever amazing Moises Kaufman. We spoke with Artistic Directors, Literary Mangers, and Agents about how they view the current world of theater and paving our own ways into it. Several amazing actors from D.C. read an excerpt from Battle Cry for my fellow artists and professionals around the country. I spent several hours working with Jocelyn Clarke, who is probably one of the coolest and smartest people I have ever met. The fact that he’s irish just sweetened the pot. I don’t know when I will come down from this high but, I will be getting an awesome fellowship this summer as well. There will be more information to come on that one. Next up: Seabury Quinn Jr. Playwrights Festival on Friday!!!
