#INKSLINGER PLAYWRITING SERIES#

Dave has a particularly aggressive form of cancer and the only way he'll experience all the memories he counted on having is through his friends creating them around him at the gaming table. Playing a pen and paper role-playing game may not be your idea of a good time but, for Dave and his friends, it's a lifeline. He is also the writer/director of the independent feature filmВ вЂњWest of HerвЂќВ (2018), and an editor for the film journalВ Bright Wall/Dark Room.

His playВ вЂњHot Dog ChristmasвЂќВ was commissioned as part of The Boston Project, the new works initiative at SpeakEasy Stage Company, and his short works have been published in theВ Stage It! вЂњ10-MinuteвЂќВ play anthology, and the journalВ Furious Gazelle. Dean agrees to mentor Dennis, but as they co-star in two films across the spring and summer of 1955, both find themselves struggling to understand what it means to be a great actor, and a good man, before they lose their chance to be either.Д®than WarrenвЂ™sВ first play,В вЂњWhy Are You Nowhere?,вЂќ received the PlaywrightвЂ™s Award for Staged Reading at the 2016 Midtown International Theatre Festival, as well as the Inkslinger Award from Southeastern Louisiana University, where it had its premiere production in Feb. New to Hollywood, a naive young actor named Dennis is cast in the new James Dean film, and though he's at first unimpressed with his idiosyncratic co-star, he's soon seduced by Dean's mysterious talent. Performances will take place April 4-14, 2019 at the NKU Fine Arts Center. As an added bonus,В вЂњThe Black Boy in PinkвЂќВ written by NKU BFA Playwriting major, Isaiah Reaves, will receive a lightly-staged production in the studio theatre.
