girlmom in NYC and DC

I am coming to NYC and DC in February and would like to invite you all to a reading of "Girl-Mom." I would love to see you all, and am super keen for feedback! "Girl-Mom" is a one act play with 71 voices (read by 6 actresses). It is a play constructed from posts (with permission) to a feminist message board/online community of the same name, run by and for young/teen mothers www.girlmom.com. (Most of you know all this...) The play was read last June at a local theatre festival for emerging artists, and was read, in part, at the Mama Gathering in Minneapolis, July 2004. This coming May, "Girl-Mom" will be produced as a workshop/reading by The Citadel Theatre in Edmonton for the Teens at the Turn Festival.

first audition

Sat, 13 Nov 2004 19:58:47 -0800

ok...so i've never auditioned for a real play before. i did high school and some college plays, but never something like this. sure it is community theatre but still...it's been ages for me.
the local theater is doing "angels in america part 1" and i actually picked up a script and am reading it. whether or not i'll actually go so far as auditioning, who knows...
but i am nervous. i have a dumb question.

Mon, 07 Jun 2004 02:14:30 -0700

Does anyone have access to a video of a staged production (not the movie)?
I'm designing it soon and haven't ever seen it on stage - am wondering how it translates and would really love to see a stage version somewhere even if it's just video.
thx
