Hi,
Did you know that The Rule Of 3 — the creative principle suggesting “a trio of entities such as events or characters is more humorous, satisfying, or effective than other numbers” had its origin with Aristotle?? Or was it Don Draper? Well, the Internet says Aristotle and Don Draper. Therefore, we are packing the latest news about Knowledge Workings Theater for you, its patient, merciful and perhaps unwitting subscribers, into 3 points for this post.
Here we go 1…2…3
# 1 HONOR Lives!
Some of you attended the very successful trio of performances of our latest play, HONOR. as part of The Chain Theatre’s Winter One Act Festival this past February. The responses of our capacity audiences inspired us. Grab a look at these unsolicited testimonials in this brief video.
Those kind and sincere reactions persuaded the entire HONOR team that we’d like to develop further this particular production. Good news: the enchanting and legendary Gene Frankel Theatre at 24 Bond Street in Manhattan, just down the street from The Public Theatre, will host HONOR for a three-week Equity Off-Broadway run in Manhattan starting in September.
For those of you who didn’t catch this one-acter in February, HONOR follows three high-ranking executives convened in a conference room to resolve a complaint with each bringing a different version of the concept of honor to that raucous and rollicking meeting. Our superb cast of Alinca Hamilton, John Blaylock, and Ed Altman rendered their wrangling over the meaning of that word — and its demands upon each of us — into an hour of compelling comic theatre. Information on tickets and exact show times will be forthcoming in our next email — unless you DID hit the unsubscribe button. In that case you’ll have to search the Internet to find out, an entity that can’t even decide whether the rule of 3 was created by Aristotle or Don Draper.
#2 Our TJW Script Is Up For Purchase
The digital version of our comedy The Jester’s Wife is up! Here’s the link to it: on the platform of our friends at Off-The-Wall Plays who are doing a swell job of publishing both digital and hard copy editions of our seven plays. Know a theater company that’s interested in putting on The Jester’s Wife? We’d love to see it produced in other locales especially Ireland. All substantial leads for such productions receive rewards ranging from dinner to lunch to breakfast in a restaurant approved by the Department of sanitation.
#3 or is it… (scary but simultaneously cheesy voice) Number 13!?!?
Given our founder’s circumstances (he’s now at the age where he’s been 12 years old six times), self-or production of some of our plays turned out to be the optimal method for our company; if by optimal, we mean that we couldn’t wait around for other people to produce them. When the festival run of HONOR ended, T.J. Elliott decided to jot down some of the the things noticed in those efforts and with a nod to one of his favorite poets, Wallace Stevens, entitled the series 13 Ways Of Looking At Self Producing. Installment number 10 will be out in the next few days and you can view all of them through the links at our website here.
Thanks so much for reading this update. And don’t forget we’d like to read your updates as well. Seriously, if there’s something going on in your world to which we could add support just ping us and we would be glad to do so. We’re all in this together, aren’t we?
