SAGE ADVICE reading tonight!

Please come to a free reading of my new play SAGE ADVICE tonight at 7PM at Waterfront South Theatre. We had a great rehearsal last night with an incredible cast. A reading is a large part of the development of a new play. SCTC kicks off it's reading series tonight and we want you to be there and offer feedback after in an open session. As a playwright I spent many nights in NY and Philadelphia working on my plays in readings like this. At SCTC we want to bring you inside the process by offering this opportunity to be on the "ground floor" of a play's development. We always want you to be more invivled with SCTC. NOTE: No one under 14 will be permitted to attend as the play contains extremely mature subjects. See you tonight in Waterfront South.

Camden 28 - August 22, 1971 - 40 Years Strong

In 11 days, 40 years will have passed since the Camden 28 planned to break into the draft office in Camden to destroy draft records..an act of protest against an unjust war in Vietnam held during the Camden riots. These brave people were arrested and tried [turned on by a traitor in their midsts]. Thier trial and acquittal is believed by many to be the beginning of the end of the Vietnam War. As we sit in 2011, riots flare in London, unemployment is sky high, we are again mired in a war ..surrounded by tea party activists who believe the poor should be left to fend for themselves and suffer in their own streets. We have GOP governors who rule with wreckless, mean spirited iron fists, bound to protect their rich donors at all costs. Thank you to Michael and Gene and the brave members of the Camden 28 for your heroism and shame on us all for not learning the lessons of the past. But...moving forward....together...with hope.....Camden will again rise.

Staged Reading- "Sage Advice"- Aug 22nd- 7PM

On Mon, Aug 22 SCTC opens our new staged reading series with my play "Sage Advice". This play will not be for everyone. It goes inside the head of a 22 year old who killed his own baby son. My play seeks motivation for such a heinous act..it is not a 'movie of the week". It is not meant to shock but to gain understanding of the darkness some souls possess. I hope you will come and offer whatever feedback you would like to give as the play moves towards production. Readings help a playwright shape and mold a play. I have been involved with readings like this for 15 plus years. I have had my plays read in theatres in NY and Philadelphia among other places. My goal at SCTC is to bring you deeper into the theatrical process. As a playwright driven theatre we will always be focused on the script. Most theatres don't open readings up to the public. We will. We hope you will join us as this will be the first of a series of readings. This is a free event with all seating on a "first come" basis. The next plays and dates in the series will be announced shortly. Please come.
