Congratulations to Hogan Gorman, who just won the
2008 FringeNYC Best Actress Award –
for her performance in her hit solo show HOT CRIPPLE!
...and Congratulations to ALL the many Solo Show and playwriting alum’s whose solo shows and plays rocked NYC this summer: sold out shows, cheering audiences, rave reviews (check out the Success Stories page to read excerpts!), major industry contacts - It was an amazing couple of months and I’m immensely proud of all the terrific work we put out there.
After a month writing my own plays at the Edward Albee Foundation, I’m all geared up for my upcoming classes - starting September 15th - to see what the next round of new solo show writer/performers and playwrights will bring into the NYC theatre scene – and into their own careers!
