I hope you will join me, Virginia Wolf, and director Scott Stephen Kegler for my 5th Annual "PLAY WITH JACQUES" new play reading at the Unitarian Society of Hartford.  PIERCE, BORN FAT, THE BINDER (with THE BUMP), and HONEY LABREA - THE LONELY THETAN all had their first readings at this warm, accommodating space.  

SAT, APRIL 16 at 7:30, right after I finish working at The Mark Twain House & Museum, I will run across the West End of Hartford for the first reading of my newest play, BETTY JO'S FAN CLUB.  This is an idea I have had for at least five years before I finally sat down to write it at the beginning of this year.  I have always been obsessed by the idea of cults.  I don't want to join one, but I would love to live near one and spy through the bushes.  I started mulling over the idea of what would happen if an under-appreciated woman decided to start a fan club for herself by posting on a supermarket bulletin board.  I didn't imagine at the time that my interest in cults would collide with this lady from Hamden, but it did.  I think the play is twisted in the best ways and has ended up being an odd reflection on the Trump candidacy.  I hope you will join me.  There will be cake and a free will offering!  Betty Jo no longer believes in free will, but encourages you to come see her.  Her fan club needs new members.
