Monday night's reading and post show discussion of Noms de Guerre was powerful, rich, and engaging! Our audience--a diverse mix of students, theatre folks, and friends-was fully captivated and charged by the plot, characters, and themes. During the post show discussion, there was a great appreciation for the strength, passion, and vulnerability of the women characters, the exploration of the lives of middle class people of color, and the way in which journalism, politics, and the military were interwoven with urgency, complexity, and nuance. I'm excited about this play and the audience response has been consistent: We need this play, now. As I work to find a theatre home for the play, I want to thank everyone at Rep Stage, and also Jocelyn Clark and the lovely folks Arena Stage's Playwrights Arena and Seema Sueko, Diane Rodriguez, and our fabulous company at Pasadena Playhouse's HotHouse series for supporting the growth and development of this play. Now, please enjoy these photos from our rehearsal and reading.
