We're having a blast working on Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them. I am very proud to be part of the National New Play Network (NNPN) and to be taking part in the Continued Life project. This project allows for Rolling World Premieres of plays.
The Rolling World Premiere is a model pioneered by NNPN to give playwrights multiple productions of their work. Because second and third productions of plays can be more difficult for playwrights to obtain than world premieres, this model allows for 3-4 theatres to do distinct productions of the play within a set period of time and share the Rolling World Premiere credit. The playwright has a voice in each production, just as he/she would in any world premiere but not always in subsequent productions. And he/she has multiple productions of the play right out of the gate. It's a win-win model that has proven successful for many writers and theatres, and we are thrilled to take part in the Rolling World Premiere of Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them. The other partners in the Rolling World Premiere are Actors Theatre of Louisville (Humana Festival), New Theatre in Miami and Theatre Mu in Minneapolis.
The play has already gotten RAVE reviews in Louisville and Miami. I can't wait to share it with Atlanta!
