Not a poetic announcement, though one of the plays is mostly in verse. Theatergoers in New York City or the SF Bay Area might be interested. Our wonderful Jayne Osborn was a big help with The Legacy, in which one of the characters is British!

Wow, Max, that's wonderful. It is exactly one month too early for me in NYC. Sob.

But congratulations on all of this. (And a curtsey to adviser Jayne too. What fun.)

[Catherine Chandler]

Congratulations!

[Michael Juster]

Very impressive!

[Max Goodman]

Thanks, Janice, Catherine, and Mike, for the encouragement.

I should mention that a developmental reading is like a workshop; after the actors perform their rehearsed reading, the audience is invited to give feedback on the play. And the play being workshopped in Mountain View on May 10 is largely in verse. I'd be delighted, of course, to get feedback from any local Eratos. (I'm offering pizza.)
