Testify and Out of Ink Encores

Really happy that I get to tell another story at Testify this month.  It’s one I’ve been trying to get down in one form or another for years and years, and I think I may have finally found a way to lasso it.  It’s a sad, kind of awful tale about a party that takes a difficult turn and has no happy ending.  But I’m hoping I can wrench a little humor out of it somehow and get that blend of humor and poignancy that hurts so good.

Then I’m also happy that I have a piece in ScriptWorks’ Out of Ink show next month.  This is a piece I wrote back in November for the 48-hour fling.  I don’t think it’s one of the stronger pieces of mine, and I expected it to be funnier than it was at the reading.  But I’m happy to be starting to work with the director (tomorrow’s our first meeting) and see what we can make of it.  That show will open in late April at Hyde Park Theatre—which is one of my favorite theatrical places ever, woohoo!
