July 2010
I'm a proud member of the The Dramatists Guild, and pretty pleased that out of their more than 6,000 members they chose my picture as one of the few to be featured on their homepage!
June 2010
My short play PERCHANCE is being produced the Barrow Group here in New York from July 10 through August 9. It's part of an evening of short works called "Awakenings," and also includes short plays by Jon Marans, who wrote THE TEMPERAMENTALS, and John Yearly. The Barrow Group always produces such great work, and I'm very pleased to be included in this evening.
April 2010
The second volume of OUTSTANDING MEN'S and OUTSTANDING WOMEN'S MONOLOGUES are now published and available from Dramatists Play Service and at theater bookstores. I edited these books with the help of Danna Call, and each book contains over 50 monologues drawn exclusively from DPS publications from the last few years. The first volume was very successful, and I hope these will be too.
I'm looking forward to going back to the Last Frontier Theatre Conference in Valdez, Alaska next month. Last summer's conference was a great experience and the scenery is amazing there. The Prince William Sound Community College production of my play SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN, which ran early this month, will open the conference on May 15.
March 2010
My collection LIFE IS SHORT is being produced in the Berkshires this month. The Town Players in Pittsfield, Massachusetts performs the play March 12 - 21, in what is basically my backyard since I've been going up to the Berkshires since I was six.
I hope the production goes wonderfully!
It also got some advance publicity in the Berkshire Eagle.
January 2010
I've just returned from Washington, DC where DOT COMET just had a very good workshop reading at Wooly Mammoth. It was very good for Mike Ogborn and I to see and hear the show on it's feet, and get a sense of the whole piece. It was a good step forward, and gave me a good sense of where to concentrate on the next round of re-writes.
Writing, after all . . . is re-writing!
January 27: I added some pictures from the reading to my PHOTO GALLERY page.
November 2009
A very busy month. I have eight different productions of my plays being performed this month around the country. On top of that I know people have been picking up copies of my new collection CHOOSING SIDES and theAtrainplays, Vol. II, featuring my short play THE BEST WAY TO GO.
October 2009
CHOOSING SIDES, my new collection of short plays and monologues, is now published and available from Dramatists Play Service.
The collection includes twelve works such as FREE, TRAIN OF THOUGHT, PERCHANCE and GUNS DON'T KILL, which have produced from Portland, Maine to New York, and from Miami to Los Angeles. The collection is compiled almost entirely of works commissioned by such theatre companies as theAtrainplays, the 24 Hour Plays, Gorilla Rep, the Metropolitan Playhouse and the Winter Harbor Theatre Company.
September 2009
FREE and Rogue Machine Theatre's late night show "Shorts and Sweets" completely sold out its August run and has been extended into September. The show starts its extended run on Friday, September 11 at 10:30pm, running Fridays and Saturdays until September 26.
In other news, theAtrainplays, Vol. 2, featuring my short play THE BEST WAY TO GO has been published and is now available from Playscripts, Inc.
August 2009
One of my favorites of my own Atrainplays, FREE, is being performed as part of Rogue Machine Theatre's Shorts and Sweets, Fridays and Saturdays, August 7 -22, starting at 10:30. I'm really happy to be part of the show, and my friend Robin Rothstein also has a play in the evening!
"Shorts and Sweets" got a great review in Eye Spy LA, which said "Free by Craig Pospisil is about all the stuff that weighs us down. It’s a cute three-hander with terrific actors" and a "naughty slice of devil’s food cake."
