Barbara Goldman [WB97&98] writes "Perfect Women was read on Sunday night in D.C. at a nightclub called State of the Union, and because of PW, I was named an Emerging Woman Playwright in D.C. by Theatre Conspiracy.  The play will be read again in DC on 8/31 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (same producers).  I went to the reading and it was very well-received.  I will also attend next week's reading.  I'm a glutton for the hot weather DC is having these days. Also my play Heaven's a Motel (a one-act) is being produced at Expanded Arts on Ludlow St in NYC and also at DFN Gallery on Bway and Prince Sts. in Soho in September.  Rehearsals are going very well. My full-length The Last Resort will have a staged reading at the McGinn Cassalle Theatre (Second Stage) above the Promenade at 76th and Bway at the end of September.  Starring Lynn Cohen, directed by Donny Levit. Also there is an organization here applying for a grant for me to complete my new full-length Abraham's Daughters, and so I'm busy working on that these days. 

Maria Dahvana Headley [WB98] writes "nice webpage, by the way.   what's happening there?  I went to the Kennedy Center in May to do the New Voices/New Visions workshop with THE INCREDIBLE DISAPPEARING LADY -- a commission for Idaho Theater for youth.  Turned out that the thing was far more of a big deal than i thought it would be and i almost imploded from stress. but it was a great experience and so many children's theater artistic directors were there.  Since then, I've just been re-writing and muttering about the screen play I"m supposed to be writing. School continues to go on.  It may go on forever.  It feels that way right now... "

Cheryldee Huddleston [WB97]writes, "Attended the Virginia Center of the Creative Arts in the fall of 1997.  While living in New York, had a staged reading of Who Loves You, Jimmie Orrio? at the Dramatists Guild in NY, directed by Barbara Bosch and featuring Rosemary Prinz and WordBRIDGE alumni Robert McLeod.  Am back in northern California for a time and just finished a trilogy called Madame John's Legacy.  I am represented by the Robert Freedman Dramatic Agency in NYC.   Please go ahead and link my name with my e-mail address:  cheryldee@earthlink.net   Also, believe it or not, I have a home page:  http://home.earthlink.net/~cheryldee  " and later, "I was just invited to join the Artists Residency Program at Z Space Studio in San Francisco, a pretty exciting group that produces both in San Francisco and New York.  So -- tah dah!  Look at me!  (Don't ever think that playwrights' egos aren't as inflated as any actor's on the planet ... but then you run WordBRIDGE ... who am I telling?)"

I'm working on some short pieces now and I'm teaching Playwriting through New England Actor's Theatre.  You are doing such amazing things down there with WORDBRIDGE.  I hope you are proud.  My best wishes for yet another successful Workshop."
