Plugging my own play is the first order...

Okay, so I toiled a little bit about my first post for this blog. Thought about the content, the tone, and what exactly I could say to get you to keep coming back....then, I threw all of that out the window and decided to plug my own work instead. I have a short play production coming up at the end of the month. The play is entitled "Dunmore bad and good", and will be produced by Stolen Chair Productions (http://www.stolenchair.org/master.html?http://www.stolenchair.org/accidentalpatriot/. Now, the play is being produced in conjunction with a full-length play called the "Accidental Patriot." I have not seen this play, but I understand from the press materials that the premise encompasses pirates, patriots and the American Revolution. The theme for my performance nights (April 30th and May 6, currently) is the American Revolution. Come see all about how Barack Obama's platform is coming together in a play that includes Michelle Obama, Lani Guinier and a slave from the American Revolutionary War as characters...that's right, folks. It's a timely political piece or...is it? I just had my first rehearsal today with my cast, and I'm expecting great things from this amazing group of women. They are Canara Price (Michelle Obama), Weez Tomlinson (Lani Guinier) and Cheryl Davis (Kelsey, said slave from the Revolutionary War). Lanie Zipoy, Publicist extraordinaire with Avec Promotions, will be directing. Yes, I'm excited folks. There's nothing like putting on work when you spend most of your time waxing poetic about other people's work. Stay tuned for the details.........
