Yes, folks, my brilliant and prolific playwright of a fiance, Mr. Matthew Freeman, has a play opening soon at the legendary St. Mark's Church (formerly the artistic home of Richard Foreman). The play is called Brandywine Distillery Fire, and it is sure to be one of the most unusual and beguiling pieces of theatre you have seen in a very long time:
Brandywine Distillery Fire began as an attempt to destroy storytelling.
Or an attempt to tell story in the way that Jackson Pollack paints
landscapes. Playmakers Michael Gardner and Matthew Freeman conjectured
that to develop a theater work in the “wrongest” way possible might be
a liberating experience for artists and audiences alike. They proceeded
with a series of workshops. In the workshops, they led a process of
improvising a play from scratch. And failing. Deliberately. And writing
it down. And failing further.

Now here's the thing my friends. To have this show be selected for the Incubator Festival is a great honor and wonderful opportunity for my fellow. In addition to coming to a performance of it (or in lieu of, for you non-NYCers), would you kindly consider helping support the production? They are in the midst of fundraising for it, and you can rest assured that every cent you send along will be used toward creating this innovative work of art. Even if it's only $1, truly every little bit helps, so would you please donate here, if you can?
Thanks so much, and see you at the show!
