On to St. Louis! Twice!

We'll be doing the conference circuit twice this year in St. Louis, then Toronto-- Joy Reilly and I will be conducting workshops on theatre and aging at the Mid America Theatre Conference in St. Louis in early March -- the ones that a winter snow storm stopped us from doing in Minneapolis last winter -- and then be back in St. Louis for the Senior Theatre League of America conference; I've been asked to coordinate a playwrights' workshop with two distinguished American playwrights, and to propose some academic panels on theatre and aging. So working on that. Currently arranging readings for the 2007 Eileen Heckart Drama for Seniors winners and runners-up. The first, a reading of For Unto Us by Massachusetts playwright James McClindon, was so successful that Dignity, the Roman Catholic GLBT group, asked us to do it again--and we did, with about 45 enthusiastic folks in attendance.
