THE LIBRARY PLAYS

Then, a few weeks later, I got to take part in a very cool event at the Prelinger Library in San Francisco. In an experiment in content creation, I was one of five playwrights who gathered fo write brand new short plays inspired by the library’s resources in an afternoon. Here’s me with the other writers–Victoria Chong Der, Cleavon Smith, Tracy Held Potter, and Jason Mendez:

Version 3

After only a few hours of writing, there was a public reading of the works each of us had created, thanks to the acting talents of Michelle Talgarow, Kate Mickere, and Dan Kurtz:

It was an incredibly fun afternoon! Huge thanks to Monica Westin for coordinating the event, as well as to Megan and Rick Prelinger for hosting us in their amazing space and for their support and interest in the project!
