local yippings

I'm clapping
for Killing My Lobster being named "Best Comedy Troupe" by SF Weekly. They give a nice shout-out to 'ol Hunter Gatherers in the post and even mention my recent income!

I'm walking
for Z Space Studio's Rent Walk on Saturday. It's a fundraiser for a truly awesome theater development space in the Bay Area, and is a major reason not to jump ship and move to New York. Or Minneapolis. Come and walk or give them some money!

I'm reading
Well other people are reading what I wrote actually. But it's the first public readings of my new unshaven play,

boom

handy summary
Jo and Jules meet in a subterranean biology lab for an erotic "casual encounter." But there's nothing casual whatsoever about this particular encounter, especially when it's interrupted by a major apocalyptic event. Will meaningless sex have meaning? What's going on in the fish tank? And who is that woman pulling levers in the corner? Something could explode. A play about fate, randomness, and impending doom.

directed by Kent Nicholson
and featuring Cassidy Brown, Jessica Kitchens and Danielle Thys!

part of The Playwrights Foundation In the Rough Series (the Playwrights Foundation is another reason not to jump ship and move to LA. Or Chicago. And they're housed at the Z Space too. See what high rents can do? It brings people together!)
