My big Sis' play!

I'm directing my sister's wonderful new play The Religion Thing at Theater J in D.C. later this season. Earlier this evening we got to do a reading of it as part of the Kennedy Center's Page to Stage Festival where the theaters in town can do readings of pieces they are working on or producing for the coming season. We were supposed to do the reading in one of the studios at The Kennedy Center with a seating capacity of 50. Well, there were at least 200 in line to see it and we had to move to one of the lobbies to accommodate the size of the audience who wanted to see the reading. And we had the wonderful cast who would be doing the actual production: Will Gartshore, Kimberly Gilbert, Liz Mamana, Chris Stezin, and Joe Thornhill. They were all amazing and the audience just ate it up. What an incredible response!
