Mass Transit Muse Workshop at 7 Stages

Get a sneak peak into the progress of the upcoming stage-adaption of my novel Mass Transit Muse...

With a full production coming in February 2014, this is a workshop and performance reading, a rare opportunity to see the early evolution of a groundbreaking new play.  An ensemble piece that features the amazing multi-talents of actor/vocalist Dorothy Bell, dancer/actor Lillian Ransijn, and poet/musician Manny Rivers, Mass Transit Muse is a raucous ride with some unforgettable characters who offer insight into the human condition and our journey through it together.

I welcome you to come to 7 Stages this Thursday, January 17th at 7:30 pm to experience it as a part of 7 Stages New Performance Lab Series.

Here's a blurb about the play from the 7 Stages cite:

Written in rhymed and metered prose and spoken-word poetry, with dynamic visual and musical accompaniment, ‘Mass Transit Muse’ follows a city bus on its journey through the city, and tells the diverse stories of the riders we encounter. The theme of the performance is the transition from dislocation and disconnection back to connection and community. The central analogy is the city bus—as we move on our journey together, our shared experience depends on how we treat one another and what we can learn from each other.
