Eric Gansworth and the Public Theater in NYC!
Eric Gansworth's NYC Public Theatre performance includes AFPS song
Saturday, October 11, 2008
Eric Gansworth and I met at The Seaside Institute in Florida in 2005. On November 15th, The Public Theater in NYC will put on a dramatization of some of his poetry and prose, directed by Leigh Silverman, as part of its Native American Festival, November 12-15. The final scene of this recounts our meeting in Florida, the loss that we shared of both our mothers around that time, and interpolates the Alex Freeman Popshow song September, which is much about the same topic.
I am so honored that my work found its way into his great work. If you are in New York City on November 15th, go check it out!
Here's the announcement on broadwayworld.com broadwayworld.com:
