After a yearlong development process, my new play Beloved Dave had its first showing this week as part of IAMA Theatre’s Emerging Playwrights Series. I’m so pleased with how this reading went— the cast and director were fantastic and the audience responded incredibly well. I’m eager to keep working on this play and push it closer towards production.
Inspired by a true events, Beloved Dave tells the story of Dave whose lonely days are finally over because he’s fallen for a lovely young woman named Sophie. The only problem: Sophie may not be a lovely young woman at all. Her real identity could destroy Dave and—given his not-so insignificant job—may have grave repercussions on nothing less than global security and world peace.
The reading was directed by Jennifer Chambers and featured performances by Evan Arnold, Josh Bywater, Darian Dauchan, Andrea Grano, Meghan Leathers, Matthew Scott Montgomery, and Andrea Negrete.
