What We're Doing, What They're Saying

6/4/2014

May you live in exciting times. That's either a blessing or a curse, and for Boston Public Works, it's most definitely a blessing. So many exciting things are going on, from the preparations for our first season starting to kick in, to our Indiegogo fundraising campaign rolling along. 

Here is just a small sampling of what we're doing and what people are saying.
Picture
Joanna Castle Miller (pictured at the left), a blogger in Washington DC, a city that has a lively, robust new play environment, interviewed  P1 John Greiner-Ferris, P2 Cassie M. Seinuk, and P4 Jess Foster in a feature.  Joanna writes about what's great about a group like BPW, what's not, and what a playwright who is considering self production might want to think about when starting a group like ours.

Reaching out and embracing Boston theater makers is the kind of work we want to do to change the way plays are developed in Boston, and we're already doing it. Boston Public Works invited some of New England's most promising dramaturgs to Jamaica Plain on May 28, 2014 to share dinner, drinks, and stimulating conversation. Find out what our dramaturg comrades have to say about BPW's impact on the Boston Theatre scene.

We really don't like asking for money any more than you like hearing us ask, but in the United States, the non-profit model really is the only viable business model for a group like ours. We don't like it any more than you do.  P4 Emily Kaye Lazzaro blogged about why it's important to support Boston Public Works in our Indiegogo campaign.  Emily makes an intelligent, heartfelt case for supporting Boston Public Works, with a touch of her own brand of humor and personality.

Boston Public Works and Interim Writers are close. Very close. The co-founders of BPW are Accomplices in the writing group, and seven of the playwrights in Boston Public Works are also Accomplices, including Cassie M. Seinuk, the founder, and Laura Neubauer, operations manager.  IW organized a retreat in western Massachusetts in an old hunting lodge, replete with bunk beds, family style dinners, and lots and lots of theater-making. IW brought out playwrights, playwrights as dramaturgs, directors, and actors in order for some of the IW playwrights to develop new work. Tell us you've never seen a happier bunch of theater artists.

Even though they were in western Massachusetts at the time, P2 Cassie M. Seinuk and P7 Jim Dalglish still had Boston Public Works supporters on their minds. They had something to say to all our supporters, so, iPad in hand, they said it.

    We're a group of playwrights in Boston who have banded together to produce one play each, then we will disband.
