Sean Christopher Lewis: KILLALDELPHIA

We had the honor of having an out-of-town award winning playwright come to our meeting on Saturday (Sept. 12). Sean's appearance was a little last minute. However, everyone at the meeting enjoyed his talk. I wish he could have talked longer. (We had a 90 page play to get through before the UA Library closed...)

Sean shared his experiences from his graduate school at Iowa State and getting to participate in the O'Neil Playwright Conference. He also touched upon what he would expect out of a group like ours if he were going to have one of his pieces read.

Sean will be having his play KILLADELPHIA performed at Junctionview Studios September 24-27. Matt Slaybaugh, the Artistic Director, from Available Light Theater will be directing the play. I will be organizing a group of us to go see the play on opening night (Sept. 24). Some of Sean's other work includes The Aperture and Militant Language. I look forward to him participating with our group in the future.

If you are interested in joining us on September 24, let me know.
