Engaging Shaw Diary–The Critics, Closing, and Aftermath

It has been over a month since I updated this, but I suppose it’s necessary to finish the story. I won’t go day-by-day this time.

I’m still in the process of recovering from such a crazy week, traveling back and forth between Maryland and New York so many times. Much of the week is a blur. Here’s a rundown.

Dates and Times For CapFringe

I’ve got two plays going up at this summer’s Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, DC. The first is Irish Authors Held Hostage, which is returning to Washington after a three year absence. It is one of my favorite shows, and we are reuniting the cast from the 2006 production: Terence Aselford, Lori
