Congrats to Pat, Rick and John

Three of The T Plays 2010 have been selected to be part of The Boston Theater Marathon this May.  Pat Gabridge's Escape to Wonderland (Blue Line); Rick Park's Birdbaths, Twilight and Other Sundry Topics (Red Line); and John J King's M. Riverside (Green Line) will all be part of the 50 plays performed on May 21, 2011.  We are pleased as punch that this is the case.  And it continues a fine tradition.  Three T Plays from our first round of plays made the Marathon two years ago.  It's nice that these plays get a second chance to be seen in Boston. 

Tune in your wireless set today at 3PM

WBUR radio (90.9 on your FM dial) will be doing a feature on The T Plays 2010 today June 24th at 3PM.  Jessica Alpert followed writer Patrick Gabridge on his journey on the Blue Line and gets a first hand look how his play Escape to Wonderland came to be.  Jessica also came by rehearsals for the play and popped in to several different shows, so there's bound to be plenty of Mill 6 goodness to hear.  Plus I've always been told I have a face for radio.  So tune in.

A Pat on the back...

to Pat Gabridge.  Pat (on the right in the photo) has been selected along with Ryan Landry and Martha Jane Kaufman as the 2010 Huntington Theatre Company Playwriting Fellows.  The two year residency will allow Pat and the others the opportunity to write and develop new scripts using some of the resources of the Huntington Theater. 

Pat's play Constant State of Panic also just finnished successful run down in Washignton D.C.  So, congratulations on both achievements.

Rosie Ruiz Redux

It seems Rosie Ruiz is not the only person to combine a marathon and public transportation - three T Plays - Pat Gabridge's Recognition, Rick Park's Please Report Any Suspicious Activity and Ken Urban's White People will all be part of the eleventh Boston Theater Marathon happening Sunday May 17, 2009 at the BCA. Also our long time collaborator William Donnelly will have his play Sugar Glider presented. Our friends from Rough and Tumble will also be one of the presenting companies, and Mill 6's Artistic Director John Edward O'Brien's play If at First will be Mill 6's official entry in the marathon. It's always a great day with almost every theater company in Boston involved with one of the 50 ten minute plays. The entire event is a fundraiser for the Theater Community Benevolent Fund. For more information on the marathon please visit http://www.bu.edu/bpt/btm/index.html

Hope to see you there.

Congrats to Pat

A few months back Mill 6 produced Pat Gabridge's play Counting Rita for the Tenth Boston Theater Marathon. Well, we just heard that Counting Rita will be included in Best Ten-Minute Plays 2009, 2 Actors, to be published by Smith & Kraus. The book will be published next year. We wish Pat the best and are looking forward to seeing our name in print.
