Kevin Six Monologue "Stupid" published again

This just in...

My agent and I negotiated a contract for "Stupid" to appear in a highschool theatre text.  Will give you more information as it comes available.

Oddly, the young woman I wrote the monologue for didn't like it.  Because of non-exclusive contracts, this monologue has been published three times and counting.  It seems that other young women -- or at leadt the people who market monologues to them -- like it just fine.

So neener-neener-neener.

Well Priced Records

I usually melt then down and turn them into folk-art devices for holding things (see Cool Record Holders) but sometimes I find a record or two that has to be in someone's collection.

This is the case with these two fine records:

If you have to have them, they're priced to sell:

The "Talking Woman" Play Reading

Friends, family, theatre buffs and some loyal KPBS listeners came out last night (August 11, 2012) for the premiere reading of Mark Hiss' "Talking Woman."

It was hot!  The weather, not the play.  You can't call a period play about burlesque in San Diego in 1949 hot, but you can call it a real sender, the bees knees and an excellently rendered, beautifully wrought, well acted piece of theatre getting up on its feet for the first time.

And we have the pictures to prove it.

Rehearsal for "Talking Woman"

Last night (Aug. 10, 2012) was the rehearsal for Mark Hiss' play "Talking Woman."  This was the actors' first time with the script and Mark's first time hearing the play read aloud.  We all had a blast and learned much.  Here are the photos to prove it.

Tiffany Tang reads Betty Spengler.

Tiffany and Elsa decide what to wear.

We won't say over-prepared...

Elsa gets Mark to try on Tiffany's nightie.  This happens with every playwright at every rehearsal and that's why there are so many of us.

Elsa Martinez is electrifying as Esme and Tom Hall is excellent as Joe.

We also have video of the fateful night...
