My play Andrew Jackson ate my Homework: A Racial Farce will receive two readings as a part of Springboard at Cleveland Public Theatre
Springboard runs October 6 – October 23 in the James Levin Theatre and there are several great shows; my show is a double billing with Art and Werewolves by Cat Kenney and directed by Lynna Metrisin, who was in my play Patterns.
This play started out as an exercise I was doing from the book New Playwriting Strategies and used a combination of recorded or found dialog, historical characters, created character interactions, and pop music. It’s still taking shape, which is the point of Springboard, and I look forward to seeing it and hearing it and continuing the development process on this piece.
