Tomorrow evening I am participating as an actor with TheatreSquared in their Arkansas New Play Fest. The script in which I am reading is entitled Disfarmer written by a fantastic writer, Werner Trieschman. It really is a fascinating script. You must come see it. Plus I am in it so it screams HIT already!
When I was first approached about being in the reading and was told the author's name, I thought to my cute self..."I know him. I don't where. I don't know how. But the name is so familiar!" And the director, Kate Frank (who is really quite wonderful), mentioned to me when she mentioned to him I was doing the reading, Werner got all excited and said "You mean Mark Landon Smith, the playwright?"
HOW DO I KNOW HIM? Arg! It was bugging me to the point of distraction.
Then at the first rehearsal, all is revealed. Werner worked for Baker's Plays, my publisher, in the early 1990's when my first script, Faith County, was published. And now here we are, years later, in Fayetteville, reading one of his plays.
Neat-o, huh?
Such a wonderful writer, that Werner.
