Finally–a reading in New York! Don Brenner will be directing a reading of Jinxed at the Abingdon Theatre on Friday, February 22, at 7 p.m. Please come!

For details: www.abingdontheatre.org.

Happy to announce that Jinxed will have two staged readings in Palm Springs, California, May 4 and 5. Jackie Cochran is a main character in the play; the real live Jackie Cochran lived in Palm Springs in the mid 20th century, and there may be many at the readings who knew her! Hope to see you there!

In a staged reading elegantly directed by Richard Brock, Jinxed was presented on a hot morning in July to a devoted audience of festival-goers, and was voted by 5 adjudicators as the best of the festival. Helen Sneed commented on the “magnificent language,” and Eleanor Speert called it a successful play that “has elements of Greek tragedy and history combined.” My sincere thanks to the work of everyone involved!

Dayton, Ohio is a city that appreciates aviation...so little surprise that my play JINXED, about Jackie Cochran and Amelia Earhart, was accepted for Dayton Playhouse FutureFest. (They also have a terrific aviation museum--see photo below, of me between exhibits of my two main characters.) Come see JINXED at 10:00 July 31. The festival (6 plays) runs Friday evening, July 29, through Sunday afternoon, July 31. The place: The Dayton Playhouse, 1301 E Siebenthaler Ave, Dayton, Ohio, 937-424-8477. http://www.daytonplayhouse.com/

Jinxed (about Amelia Earhart and Jackie Cochran), was 1 of 50 scripts–out of about 1,000–to be selected as finalist for this amazing conference. Congrats to the final 5!

Thrilled to have Jinxed presented as part of this week-long festival in Omaha, Nebraska. Made lifelong friends and learned so much. Highlights included master classes with Elena Araoz, Justin Townsend, Lee Blessing, and Constance Congdon.
