BELLHAMMER named O'Neill Semi-Finalist
I am simultaneously humbled and jazzed-out-of-my-socks to hear that my MFA-thesis play Bellhammer, an allegorical meditation on the nature of goodness set in the world of Christian Professional Wrestling, has been named a Semi-Finalist for the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center's 2010 National Playwrights Conference. I am honored to be recognized by this amazingly prestigious group, and I'm gratified that this piece is being considered.
