It has been a distinct pleasure to work repeatedly with New York Madness for the past ~3 years. New York Madness is a raw and unpredictable show of short plays by an ensemble of emerging playwrights, created by my friends Judith Leora and Cecilia Copeland. It’s a group of playwrights who meet once every 1-3 months with a Guest/Host Playwright. This guest picks a theme for that month’s Madness a week before the event. The playwrights then have one week to write a 7-8 min short play on that theme which is given to a director and actors usually a day or two before the event. Then all the plays are read for an audience at that month’s Madness. It’s always an evening full of surprises.
Due to my repeated presence over the past few years I have been asked to join the NYMadness Acting Company. This is something new for the upcoming 4th season. Guest Playwrights this season include Erik Ehn, Caridad Svich, Mia Chung, August Shulenberg, Jenny Lyn Bader, and David Bar Katz!
Come out this coming season and see what the noise is all about. The first Madness of the season, featuring Erik Ehn, will be held on September 15th at the T. Schreiber Theater, 151 W 26th St. @ 8:00 pm. Hope to see you there.
