New collection coming in October to W.H.A.T.!

I'm happy to announce that we'll be presenting a new collection of my short work - this time 5 plays and 2 short stories - in the fall.  Bob Costa will again direct, and many of our 2016 and 2017 actors will return.  For the past 2 years we've had a wonderful experience presenting my collections at Wellfleet Preservation Hall to sold out audiences.  Thank you all who have attended!  This year the Hall wasn't available until much later, so we were very happy to be welcomed by the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater (www.what.org) to partner with them for the use of their wonderful facility.  The production will take place on Friday/Saturday, October 5/6 in the evening and on Sunday, October 7 in the afternoon.  More news to come!
