My play excerpt at the Playwright's Festival
Submitted by Palmito on July 11, 2008 - 01:32.The play I worked on at the beginning of last year - "Time Upon" - was selected for this year's Bay Area SHorts (BASH!) reading of the Bay Area Playwright's Festival, a nationally known festival of new work.
I am very excited and grateful to have this opportunity to continue to work on this play during the festival, and a 30-minute excerpt of my new version will be performed as a stage reading, along with four other BASH plays.

Night of the Living Dead

We had a great time drumming at the San Francisco Day of the Dead procession. Since we're a smaller group, we had to find quieter open spaces to play - and would end up being the "personal band" for whatever ghouls happened to be along. We caught up with the stilt walkers on Mission, and here we're playing right over the BART openings to get a bigger echo, as the stilt walkers danced around us. It was a great night.
Pictured drumming are (LR) - Amanda, Amy, Teflon and myself.

To Amy, Christine, Amanda, Chops, Teflon and Hank - thanks for the drumming!
The answers
Submitted by Palmito on October 9, 2007 - 05:09.(I found this sitting in my drafts folder on my blog. I don't know if I just never got around to posting it, or if I had a reason not to give the "answers", insisting the audience provide their own. Seeing that the show was performed two years ago next month, maybe it's time to reveal the machinery behind the curtain...)
