Alright! Finally, the continuation of my post from last week! I promised I’d post my new 10 minute play, A Letter to My Past Self on Friday last week, but I forgot that we were dropping a new episode of The RADical Wasteland Podcast that day. So, here we are.
Anyway, I hope you take 10 minutes or so and watch the clip of the show posted above!
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
– Ernest Hemmingway
To say that it was tough to write this would be an understatement. I spent most of Friday night in a panic, staring at a blank screen. Inspiration didn’t hit until about 4am, and once it did, it still took more than two hours to crank this scene out.
A lot of folks say I owe my friend Soda here an apology for making her learn this script in just a few hours. And they’re right. And I have apologized to her several times for writing such a hard piece.
But as you can see, she killed it, just like I knew she would.
Interested in reading the script? Take a look!
If you happen to like the script, and you want to do something with it, send me an e-mail or reach out to me on social media and we can chat.
Big thanks to Erin and Jenn for snapping these pictures during the show!
About With Hope in Our Hearts: A Fundraiser for the Asheville Theater Alliance
Join us for two nights of live music, laughs, and new plays as we rally support for our friends at the Asheville Theater Alliance in Asheville, NC. The arts have been devastated along with the local community in Asheville, and the ATA is working to help local arts organizations recover. All proceeds and donations from both nights will be going directly to the ATA as they rebuild their community spaces.
In true Theatre Unleashed style, we’re gathering some of our best writers, directors, and actors to write, rehearse, and perform half a dozen brand new one acts within a 24-hour period. It’s fun, spontaneous, raw, and you never know quite what is going to happen, but it’s always a great night! Combined with musical interludes and stories directly from the Asheville arts community, our hope is to raise awareness and funds in an effort to lift the arts up in areas affected by the recent hurricane.
Both performances will be live-streamed so that you can watch and donate from anywhere!
