It’s exciting to start writing a new play–tentatively titles Lost & Found. Sometimes the two plays help each other–editing seems so easy after drafting. Sometimes it’s just a confused swirl. Run to yoga. But springtime is time for new things and rediscovery.
I’ve taken the helm as Producer for PDX Playwright’s new reading series at Fertile Ground, 2013. We are a group that provides encouragement for playwright’s and a place to come have a table reading. We’ve just produced 19 staged readings by 15 playwrights as part of Fertile Ground 2012. I have big shoes to fill and fortunately I have some good groundwork in place.

The Bronze Goddess II
