| A NEW COMMISSION FOR NEXT!
by Jason Loewith on 2/12/2008 03:21:00 PM
Writing to you from dress rehearsals for THE AMERICAN DREAM SONGBOOK, I'm pleased to announce Next Theatre has commissioned New York-based playwright David Johnston for a project tentatively called "The Rapture"! I've been pursuing him since Literary Associate Lila Stromer made me read his play CANDY AND DOROTHY, which I adored, and which went on for a well-received off-Broadway run. He's also the author of the very dangerous, iconoclastic, and astonishing BUSTED JESUS COMIX, which has scared producers from coast to coast (this one included)... but he's an original, compelling voice, and we're proud to be working with him.
Check out his blog and his work here.
We're continuing to work on our commission with Carson Kreitzer, and when I'm in New York for the opening of ADDING MACHINE she and I will be meeting to further discuss the project... and there's one more commission in process that I'll let you know about just as soon as the papers are signed!Labels: Carson Kreitzer, Commissions, David Johnston
