I’m disappointed to share that both METLab and the Treefort Music Festival have been put on hold until (hopefully!) a later date–but of course, the most important thing right now is to try to combat the spread of the virus. Stay healthy, everyone.

]]> March Play Update https://katherinevondy.com/?p=504 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 05:24:47 +0000 https://katherinevondy.com/?p=504 March is shaping up to be a very theatrical month, with three different plays of mine in three different states!

First, in anticipation of the Athena Project’s Plays in Progress Series, on March 9, the new Read & Rant Book Club in Denver, CO, will be reading and discussing my play THE SNAKE GOD OF FIJI (A HEDDA GABLER PREQUEL) along with Henrik Ibsen’s classic play.

Then, THE OCEAN DEEP will be workshopped through METLab with the Maryland Ensemble Theatre in Frederick, MD. Tickets to the public readings on March 14 and March 21 are available here.

Finally, the Campfire Theatre Festival is bringing THE FERMI PARADOX back to Boise, ID to be a part of the Treefort Music Festival. If you have a festival pass, check out the staged reading on March 29.

THE SNAKE GOD OF FIJI (A HEDDA GABLER PREQUEL) and THE OCEAN DEEP are both plays I developed through The Vagrancy‘s new play development program, and I started working on THE FERMI PARADOX through the Theatricum Botanicum Seedlings, both in Los Angeles. I’m so excited to see all of these plays continuing to have lives in other parts of the country!

]]> Theater News https://katherinevondy.com/?p=497 Thu, 28 Nov 2019 16:58:56 +0000 https://katherinevondy.com/?p=497 Two fun theater-related updates!

First, I recently took a short trip to London, which was fantastic! I got to see so many fascinating historical sites that I’d previously only read about, like the Tower of London:

In addition to all the sightseeing, I also got to have a reading of my play THE FERMI PARADOX with The Script Readers, a cohort of professional actors that does developmental readings of new plays and screenplays. It was a delightful night and I was impressed by the talent and thoughtfulness of the whole team! Thank you to Shenagh Govan, Nora Connolly, and all the other Script Readers who helped make this reading happen!

Secondly, I’m excited to share that THE SNAKE GOD OF FIJI (A HEDDA GABLER PREQUEL) was selected to be a part of this year’s Plays In Progress Series with The Athena Project! I’m thrilled to get the opportunity to get back to work on this play, and already looking forward to the reading in Denver next June. Stay tuned for further updates!

Talented collaborators, a welcoming group of artists and a sold-out reading…what else could anyone ask for?!?

Here are a few photos from the run-through.

I was very sad to leave Salt Lake City, but remain so thrilled with every single aspect of the experience. My heartfelt thanks to everyone at SLAC and The Davey Foundation for this awesome opportunity!!

Please tell all your friends in Utah to check out the show! (It’s free, so there’s really no excuse not to come.)

]]> Profile in THE WINCHESTER STAR https://katherinevondy.com/?p=237 Sat, 09 May 2015 19:53:38 +0000 https://katherinevondy.com/?p=237 My hometown newspaper, THE WINCHESTER STAR, published an article about me and THE FERMI PARADOX yesterday. If you have an online subscription to the paper, you can check it out here! Otherwise, just take my word for it that it was a delightful profile. Thanks to the STAR and to reporter Stephen Nielsen for the great interview!

]]> THE FERMI PARADOX Wins Davey Foundation Grant https://katherinevondy.com/?p=224 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 16:03:23 +0000 https://katherinevondy.com/?p=224 I am 100% amazed, 100% thrilled and 100% honored that my play THE FERMI PARADOX was selected as the recipient of the 2015 Davey Foundation Theatre Grant! (I’m not exactly sure how that math works out – I guess the total of my emotions is 300%? Sure, sounds right.) What this means is that I will be heading to Utah for a week in August to workshop the play with an amazing team from the Salt Lake Acting Company. It will culminate in a public reading on August 31st – so if you are in the Salt Lake City area, mark your calendars now! And please take a little time to read about The David Ross Fetzer Foundation for Emerging Artists, the wonderful organization that is behind this opportunity!
