Hey-

I'm a Playwrights alumni working on a couple of shows that are coming
up within the next week. I'd love for invite you all to two different
projects I've been working on this summer:

The first piece I want to invite you to is a play I'm acting in. I'm
really excited about this because I haven't been in a play for a couple
of years. This is a really interesting piece about teenage girls who,
while out one night, see something that will change their lives
forever. It's particularly fun for me because I get to relive the
really awkward years as I portray the "dork" of the group. This play
is entitled "Et Tu, Kelly?" and is part of the Strawberry One Act
Festival produced by the Riant Theatre Company. Please really try to
come to this one because it's all about how many votes we can get. All
the shows are voted on and the top shows go on to the semifinals and
the top ones from that go on to the finals. The plays in the finals
are published, which would be wonderful of course. This takes place:

Aug. 11 and 12 (Mon. and Tues.) 7pm at
The Producers Club - 358 w. 44th St.
For reservations call 646-623-3488 (You should probably make
reservations soon because there are a couple of other shows as well
these nights)

The second piece is a powerful play about the Mexican Border in
California. It's a play I directed for the Fringe Festival called
"Citizen Mendez". You can check out more info at:

It's at Our Lady of Pompeii Church Demo Hall -
240 Bleecker St.(at the corner of Carmine St.)- right off of 6th Ave.
Aug. 8(Fri.) 7pm
Aug. 9(Sat.) 12pm
Aug. 12(Tues.) 9:30pm
Aug. 15(Fri.) 6:45pm
Aug. 20 (Wed.) 7:45pm
Aug. 23 (Sat.) 7:30pm

To make reservations call 212-279-4488
* But just so you know there's an extra charge when you make a
reservation and the theater has at least 150 seats... so I don't think
a reservation is necessary. But of course if you're coming let me
know, so we can talk.


Thanks for reading my lengthy email. I'm just happy to fill you in on
what I'm up to.

Sincerely,
Jessica Rotondi
