A crazy month (and it's just started)

steveg144 · Feb 4, 2009

Friday the 6th a local theatre troupe will be doing an evening of staged readings of my plays (one short farce and a 1-act drama). Exclusively my work, no other playwrights being featured that evening. I find myself both humbled and giddy at the prospect.

Friday Feb 22 our local ArtsCenter is doing a concept evening, "Main Street Radio Theatre," basically we'll be doing radio plays in front of an audience (with the possibility it might be broadcast over local community radio). I've got a 10-minute comedy on the playbill for this evening.

Now if I could just find a bit of daylight to work on my sadly-neglected non-fiction work, I'd be a happy writer.

Congrats! I just started working on my first play. Doing anything like that seems so far away.

That's great!

That ought to be very rewarding.

Best of luck, and please let us know how things go!

Congratulations! It all sounds very exciting, keep us posted. Here in the Uk radio drama is broadcast nationally and is still a big deal, I don't know if you can use the listen again feature or listen live outside the UK but on bbc radio 4 there are daily plays plus radio comedy and sketches.

A missing genre

I have always missed the presence of radio drama in the U.S. It is a genre that can be rewarding to the writer and to the audience.

Yep, I listen to the BBC afternoon play religiously. It reminds me that, somewhere on the planet, the craft of playwrighting is still taken seriously.

Wow! You got a lot going on. Congratulations. Hope it all works out for you.
