read-through of new comedy on Chester St

[ceelove.livejournal.com]

Hello, Davis Square! I've posted here in years past about my writing (my Never After played at the Somerville Theater in 2009), and I've got a new script needing feedback. I Made A Faustian Deal With the Devil and All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt is a full-length comedy set in Hell, where Catherine the Great, bluesman Robert Johnson, Joan of Arc, Niccolo Paganini, and the non-binary-gendered Devil argue over who among them should escape.

I'm hoping to hold a read-through in the next couple of weeks at a home on the Mass Ave end of Chester Street. There's a poll up at http://doodle.com/poll/p7y8448eh47p3trr to determine the best date. If you're interested in reading aloud, I can send you a PDF of the script. I am particularly interested in finding an African-American man to read Rob Johnson.

Thanks for your interest!

I did a read-through of yours some years ago. Would be fun to do again. I answered the Doodle poll.

Lovely, thanks! I've closed the poll, final results up at http://doodle.com/poll/p7y8448eh47p3trr#table. I'll be sending out an email with more info, let me know a good address for you or I'll send an LJ message.

Once you choose a date and time for this, please make both a new post and a reply here, so everyone sees it. Thanks.

Ah - found your email from 2013 which is presumably still good.

I got your email, thanks. (My email address should be publicly displayed in my LJ profile; please let me know if it isn't.)

...and, of course, my first sillyassed thought is "but why is Joan of Arc in Hell? What did she do wrong?" Or will I just have to wait for the eventual production to find out?

Indeed, that's one of the main themes of the piece. :) Do join us tomorrow to observe!

As per the followup post: Sunday, March 5 at 1:00, at the Vogt/Grossbart residence at 2D Chester St (Mass Ave end), we will have an informal read-through of my new comedy I Made a Faustian Deal With the Devil and All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt. Ring and we'll buzz you up.

There will be a second read-through on Saturday, March 18 at 1:00, at the Ringel/Koerber residence at 112 Highland Ave Unit E.

Or not; tomorrow's read-through is canceled.
