"Wright" means a crafter, maker, manufacturer of something, so a playwright makes plays, a shipwright makes ships, and so on.

This isn't self-promotion, but familial promotion.

More shameless plugging: My podcast The Hour of Truth now has a Facebook group. Feel free to join - you don't even have to be friends with me! (It's win-win!)

I got another play up, in Austin, TX.  If anyone wants me to try and get them a comp (Phantom Hugger?) let me know.  It's filthy.

Based on a true story, Hamilton Township combines memoir, surrealist horror, punk rock and a New Jersey folk tale to tell a morality play about adolescence, the nature of evil and the worst party in the history of ever. Jason and Babydoll are trapped in the house of a sleeping old woman with a case of wine coolers as a toxic storm rages outside. Neither know what's been put in store for them by the nameless bully who put their very special evening together. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.

Directed by Jenny Larson

Featuring: Kristen Bennett, Jude Hickey, Lana Dieterich, Joey LePage

Sound design by Buzz Moran
Set by Connor Hopkins
Costumes by Laura Cannon
Special Effects Make Up by Jessica Gilzow

Following our May 30th opening night performance will be a celebration for the cast and crew as well as a farewell to our longtime Artistic Director Jason Neulander. Please join us to toast the past and toast the future. No bread will be provided. Just drinks.

[joanna]

congrats! that's a great theater.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Thanks, yeah, I love them!  Do you live in Austin, Joanna?

[joanna]

nope, i lived there for five years and saw a couple of plays there. and filmed a music video there -- it's also an awesome space!

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

I think they're in a new space now, this converted mini-factory, like one of those places they make machine parts or process deer:



I can't find a photo online but it pretty much looks like this.  It's an awesome space, though.

[Andy]

are you going to be down there for any of the shows?  My little sis lives in Austin and I've been looking for an excuse to get down that way.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

I'm here until June 1!  let me know if you want free tickets - I still owe you for the Girlscout cookies.

My friend wrote a review of the "Friars and Bacchae" thing and it's in the latest issue of ArtUS magazine.  I'm not sure what the distribution of that thing is, but it's out on newsstands in your more eggheaded sectors of L.A., that's for sure.  She seems to say it was good in some ways, but then also say it's "embarrassing" and that I'm "cautiously pathetic" or something.  I'll take what I can get, I'm still excited about it!

Since this is the self-plugging thread...

My band, Longshanks, will be playing at Piano's in NYC on Saturday, June 28th.

We will be opening for Paul Dano's band, Mook. Come help us drive the demons out.

I'll post something a little more formally a little closer to the date.

Self-promotion: I'm working on a website that's documenting an exhibition at MoMA about prefabricated housing (http://moma.org/homedelivery) and the architects that will be installing five homes here on the vacant lot have been blogging for a few months. If you walk by the lot off 6th Avenue and 54th you can see things starting. Anyway, we could use the web traffic to justify our existence and keep me gainfully employed. I've been doing some videos for the site, too.

Self-advertising, OVER.

For what it's worth, here is a link to my sketch-comedy podcast, called "The Epileprechaun Show."  I have not done a new installment in TWO YEARS because of teaching gigs.  But I will revive it.  It says "Toothychum's Podcast", but it is The Epilprechaun Show.

Best Show bump?
