In the Meantime

I have rejoined the staged reading committee of Center Stage Jackson chaired by Susan Murphy with the assistance of Chuck Thor.

We met today and decided dates for upcoming readings: Match 12, April 9, May 14 and August 13, September 10, and October 8 (all second Saturdays). Readings are performed in the small theater at the Jackson School of the Arts.

Auditions for future directors and others interested in reading will be held on January 9, 2016. Tentatively scheduled to be held at the Jackson Coffee Company on Mechanic Street in Jackson, Michigan.

Titles will be released as soon as rights are acquired.
