Marin director with playwright, cast and stage manager of Dead Man’s Wake
Last night was the staged reading of the new play Dead Man’s Wake by Larry Klein. We played to a full house and had a reception with discussion following. In the photo: (back row L to R) playwright Larry Klein, Jim Jones (Tom), director/dramaturg Becky Parker Geist (yep, moi), Lucette Fleming (Janet), Devin O’Brien (Brian), stage manager Bill Lane; (seated L to R) Gabriel Ross (Jess), Terry Boero (Leah), Chuck Isen (Danny), Wendy Wyatt-Mair (Andrea).
I love working on new plays, engaging in the process of creation and development! It is one of the ways in which I can help creators be heard – and THAT – helping others be heard, is part of my calling in this life. I figured that out recently. :)
Back to Dead Man’s Wake: I love how complex and developed these characters are! I look forward to finding the producers who will bring it to full production.
