Some exciting updates over here, although I admittedly feel a little weird sharing them in such an uncertain time. On the other hand, I also think it's important for all of us to share our respective good news and think about life on the other side of this whole thing. So here goes nothing! First off, Sow and Suckling went oh so well as part of UTNT. All of our shows were sold out, and the crowds stayed really engaged, even as the play spiraled further and further into darkness. It's definitely not a show for everyone, so I was really happy to see people connect with it rather than leave the theater. I'll be sharing some photos from the UT production in the coming days. Second, my play The Amphibians is a Finalist for this year's New Play Workshop at Hyde Park Theatre! HPT is one of my favorite houses in town, and I thiiink they may have produced the first full-length play I saw after moving to Austin (an excellent production of Sarah DeLappe's The Wolves). They're one of my favorite local companies, so it's an honor to be recognized. I'm also a big fan of the work and personalities of fellow Finalists Katie Bender, Laura Neill, and Patrick Shaw, and am excited to learn more about the other folks in the running. We'll know which Finalist gets a full workshop sometime in mid-April. So stay tuned. I've got some other cool opportunities slated for the summer that are admittedly up in the air at this time. Here's hoping some semblance of normalcy gets restored sooner rather than later. As necessary as self-isolation, cancellations, and social distancing are right now, it also feels weird for in-person arts events to not be a thing. I hope you're all staying happy, healthy, sane, and engaged!
