So pleased that a monologue I’ve written will appear in The Best Women’s Stage Monologues 2022, due out in December, from Smith & Kraus.

The monologue is one from my newest play, “Circle Forward,” which was written in 2021 and featured in the Playwrights Union “First Peek” Reading Series in June 2021. The play was also developed in the Antaeus Theatre Playwrights Lab. I’m so proud to be included in this collection!

As part of the “First Peek” Series of new play readings by members of the Playwrights Union, my play “Circle Forward” will have its very first public reading (virtually on Zoom) on Saturday June 12 at 3:30 PDT (US). Tickets are FREE — just RSVP/register HERE and you’ll be sent the Zoom link just before the reading.

“Circle Forward” synopsis: When a 15 year old boy claims to be the reincarnation of a writer's late husband, she must come to terms with her version of the past. The reading will run about 1 hour 15 minutes, with a short talkback afterwards for those that wish to stay a few minutes and ask questions or offer constructive feedback.

The “First Peek” series is for brand new plays, all works in progress, so know that you’re seeing and hearing an early draft, and your presence and feedback really matters!

Here’s my amazing cast: Meeghan Holaway, Catia Ojeda, Max Torina, and Caitlin Crawley.

RSVP for this free reading today! You can watch in your pajamas! (And check out the other four plays in this year’s “First Peek” series — all wonderful, all different!)

UPDATE: OVER 20,000 have listened to the podcasts so far, in over 5 continents!

The Los Angeles Times called the series “Delightful… exceptional… quick and fun and surprising!”

Featured in LAist’s “Best Online Post-Election Diversions!”
