Extremely excited to announce – somewhat late, actually – CURTAINS ON FIRE – a new theatrical podcast produced by the Rising Curtain Theatre Company in NJ. This is a project that was started by me and the Director of RC, Ted Wrigley, in April of last year. The company had just come off of three sold-out performances of Miserable Love Stories – an evening of pieces from my then newly released book. The show was successful – and Ted and I were looking for new projects that we could do while everyone was still sheltering at home during COVID.
With Curtains on Fire we invited several NJ and New York writers and performers to join us in a weekly workshop creating mini-plays based on assignments. The workshops have been running almost weekly for about eight months now and the group has grown to 14+ writers, including some in NY, NJ, Cincinnati, and even Albuquerque, New Mexico! The group has generated hundred of mini-plays at this point, many of which have also been picked up by other outlets, including our friends at Gone In 60 Seconds.
We’ve released two podcasts so far and are working on our third. You can find them on all your favorite podcast players. Below is all of podcast #2, featuring new works by Jay Strong, Tarek Salib, and Nat Gennace.
Give it a listen! We think there’s some very compelling stuff here.
