After appearing the in Best of Playgroud-LA, my play "Towards Tomorrow Island” about a woman who swims the frozen Bering Straight, between Alaska and the USSR, during the height of the Cold War is getting a commission to expand it into a full-length. It’s funded in-part by Planet Earth Arts, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting performing arts projects that highlight environmental theme. The new play that I’ll develop over the course of the next year will examine issues related to Arctic ecology, human geography, and swimming in very cold water. Looking forward to diving in on this.
