Hopefully you remember our first production, The Taming of the Shrew.  Mat Kelly, our set painter extraordinaire, is also a playwright with a number of scripts under his belt.

He approached me last fall with a proposal.  He has a new script that he’d love to get some feedback on & was hoping we could do some good at the same time.  Would TBT be interested in staging a reading of his new play for an audience in a pay-what-you-can set up with the funds raised going to a good charity and give him a chance to get feedback from the audience, actors & director (yours truly) after the reading.

Always being one for an interesting idea, I said it sounded like fun.

I’ve had a chance to look over the script (The Waffle King Murders) and I have to say, I’m really looking forward to this.  It’s a really fun script and has a very classic detective story a la the 1940′s to it.  I’m talking to some of the talented actors from the area and we’re getting together during the day on the 25th and going over the script as a group in preparation for the evening’s reading.

I really hope you can come out to have fun & help support the good folks at KW’s Out of the Cold program.  You can let us know you’re coming by signing up here.  And thank you to the awesome folks at KWLT for providing the space for this!

Thanks all!
