Focus: “I will be tweeting about the second week of the 26th Annual Enbridge playRites Festival of New Canadian Plays (http://www.atplive.com/playRites/playRites.html), the Festival that is the focus of my work as a programmer and dramaturg. We will just have opened three of four world premieres and will be preparing a final opening of the Festival (Good Fences by Downstage Creation Ensemble) and hosting an event for emerging artists from across Canada called Raucous Caucus: Emerging Artists Assembly.  I am production dramaturg on two world premieres in the Festival, Good Fences and Drama: Pilot Episode by Karen Hines.”

Focus: "This is going to be a busy week: we are choosing our line-up of plays for Planet Connections Theatre Festivity's 2012 season, and I am expecting a fight for some of the scripts I'm excited about. We'll see how the literary manager stacks up against a team of artistic directors. I also just started my spring semester at Brooklyn College which includes a theatre theory class and my first TA experience. And we start rehearsals this week for Nicky Silver's The Altruists, directed by MFA Directing candidate Josh Penzell - I am the dramaturg. Also also, I am knee deep in thesis land, so I'm trying to write a coherent and meaningful argument about metatheatre and contemporary musicals."
