One month in and it's already been a very busy 2014. I started January in Columbus Ohio doing a month long research fellowship at Ohio State University's Lawrence & Lee Theater Research Institute. I scoured the Robert Breen collection to help me find inspiration for my newest play Just, Porgy (working title). I had an amazing time there working with brilliant archivist, curators and the TRI team. I am three quarters through my rough draft and expect to complete it shortly.
I also traveled with three other OU playwrights to West Chester, Pennsylvania for the KCACTF Region 2 Conference. My ten minute play SuperNova was selected to take part in the festival and directed by Moses Goldberg.
I am continuing with my nine month submission challenge. I have completed 57 applications since the end of July which means only 13 more to reach my goal of 70. Thus far, I have heard back from 15 of my submissions. To date three have returned in the affirmative including KCACTF (SuperNova) and Fast & Furious Festival in Spokane Washington ( Tiny Bundle of Twigs), Two have gone on to the simi-finals, and received 10 declines. So all in all not a bad ratio. More to come with those I hope.
Polar vortex or no polar vortex, I am going to go full steam ahead into my final semester at OU with some positive momentum behind me. Counting it all joy!
