PLAYWRIGHT COMES OUT OF THE CLOSET
--OR IS IT THE BUCKET?
Those of you who read this BLOG know that the Blogger--ME!!--is also a poet and very interested in Poetry.
What I have not blogged much about is that I am also a playwright.
That interest and play productions were more to the fore when I was still teaching drama and playwriting at the University of Cincinnati and having my own plays produced in various Cincinnati theaters.
It was an exciting time and deserves more attention. But when I retired completely from teaching in 2012, I was drawn back into my first passion POETRY.
In recent years due to the good influence of a former high school student of mine who is now a college professor, I became a founding member of the BLUE COW GROUP--a group of playwrights who formed a support group that met twice monthly to read and improve each other's plays.
Since I left the playwriting scene a new phenomena of ten- minute plays has mushroomed as a way to get new work performed, and also a way to bring beginning playwrights to the attention of theaters. It was also a way to see new writing without commiting to a full length play production.
All this history is just to introduce my Blog Readers to an opportunity to see some of the work of the BLUE COW GROUP which is being staged as part of the Providence Fringe Festival.
Due to the PANDEMIC these plays will be available on ZOOM and so anyone with a computer can watch them.
So in that spirit of trying to find the upside of these trying times, I invite each and every one of you to follow the link below and watch the plays wherever you are on the globe.
This is an introduction. I will provide more specifics of time and date in future blogs.
