wrappping up 2018 with NEW PLAY READINGS

What is it about the end of the year that so many great playwrights want to get their plays read? I’m not complaining! The final months of 2018 had me busy with a number of readings:

• Sari Caine’s sensational new play DOG DREAMS had a reading at The Arc, an old sushi factory in Long Island City that her group, DMNDR, is converting into a multi-use performance space

• I read a role in Sandy Gruenwald’s WHO LOVES YA, BABY at the Sheen Center

• I helped organize an informal reading of John Ryan Martine’s gay bathhouse epic EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE in my living room, where I was joined by actors Dan Domingues, Clea Alsip, and Virginia Logan

• at my old stomping ground Primary Stages/ESPA, I read THE SHATTERING OF GLASS by D.L. Newton

• and I ventured down a few floors of my building to director Abigail Zealey-Bess’s apartment for a reading of my friend Andy Bergh’s new play, JANE OF THE TREE
