"Chat" - selected for the 2020 WADY (We Ain't Done Yet) Festival in Arizona!
"Originally scheduled for November of this year, we were so surprised and delighted by the number of submissions and breadth of interesting characters, that we decided to make the WE AIN'T DONE YET a festival of shorts in summer 2020.
Rather than presenting only 3 shorts in a festival that included longer works, we will present 14 short plays!
ALL of the characters in these scripts are women over 40 - the largest demographic of actors and audiences. We thank all who submitted and look forward to seeing more great scripts in the future."
