Auditions for Marley & Rachel


As part of the Paekakariki Fringe, which is part of the Wellington Fringe 07, auditions will be held for a new and exciting play, "Marley & Rachel & a Body Part.

Email Diane at dianespodarek@earthlink.net for details. Auditions Monday 08 Jan at Wellington Arts Centre, 4 pm.

I was inspired to write a play about the homeless and 9/11 when I returned to New York this past July after living in New Zealand for a year. In New York I had a fabulous staged reading of the play at Tribes Gallery. The audience either loved it or hated it. So, I'm going to give it a go, with some minor changes and with Kiwi actors as part of the Fringe Festival in NZ. This production will be accompanied by another short I wrote in Kentucky, this past September, entitled "In the Cellar of My Heart", a comedic look at a woman's dilemma at the appearance of her dead son at the moment she takes an overdose of pills. This will be a fun evening of drama and reflection on death by some characters we just may recognize as those we love.
