RAT Playwright FYI

Playwrights and assorted others:



 The following email  came my way recently. I thought it might be of
interest to you.  One caveat. I do not  know Brian Kapell. , either
personally  or professionally.  A colleague of mine, Christopher DeWan,
is a friend of Brian's  and asked me to help him out. This is simply an
FYI.   If you are interested in this project please reply directly to Brian
Kapell at Briankazoo@aol.com.

>This is Brian Kapell, from Long Beach. Chris DeWan gave me your e-address. I
>am part of the California Repertory Company, and have a great new space in
>downtown Long Beach called The Edison. The Cal Rep produces (almost entirely)
>world premieres, and American premieres. We are hoping to capture some of the
>new pulses that are beating out there. It has been my desire to initiate a
>play-reading series here, once a month, to give unproduced plays a chance to
>be heard. It also lets us better consider these plays for full production
>during our full-year season. Chris attached the latest list of readings that
>you will be doing, and I am awed. I plead ignorance in procedure here; Would
>you be willing, with the playwright's permission, to forward any of these
>scripts for our series?  Maybe I could get a contact list of these
>playwrights and ask them to submit their work. Or, maybe you have a better
>idea.
