I have a virtual reading coming up on Sunday, April 7th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) for a one-woman show I just finished writing.  While the script for my show Atypical Grace is complete it is still a work in progress and this reading is intended for my director and me to get feedback so we can get it ready for the stage.  I will be debuting the show on June 9th at the Zephyr Theatre, as a part of the Los Angeles Fringe Festival.  

My new script, Atypical Grace, follows Marilynn, who runs a weekly support group for parents who have children who are struggling with learning disabilities.  These parents are as diverse as their children’s needs, but Marilynn continually searches for a way to empathetically meet the parents where they are.  From Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD) to trouble with math or reading comprehension, each parent shares their child’s ups and downs with learning and their own individual challenges supporting their kiddos.  As all parents know, parenting doesn’t stop at the classroom door, it’s a never-ending job that’s best done with a healthy dose of forgiveness. Watch as a group of parents come together to face some of the trials, tribulations, and joys of raising children with so many needs. This show is not autobiographical, but rather an amalgamation of the many years spent in private practice working with children who struggle with the learning process, as well as supporting their families.

Because this is a critical time for feedback, I’ve intentionally invited friends and family I love, know, and trust and who I know will offer honest feedback on my show. I’m specifically looking for feedback on my writing, as well as any tips or thoughts you have about producing and directing this creative endeavor as we ready it for the stage.  Here is the link to reserve your spot.  I hope you can make it!  It’s a donation-based event, so just pick an amount to donate (can be as little as one dollar or as much as you’d like to contribute) and check out via the Eventbrite site.  This site is best accessed on a computer.  All proceeds go to producing the show at the Fringe Festival in June.  The actual reading is on Zoom, so after you register (RSVP) via Eventbrite I will send you the link for the event, the night before the reading.  Feel free to have your friends and family join you to watch it.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.  Look forward to seeing you there!
