what I did today

Attended the Pulitzer Prize luncheon (this year Letts/August and per
usual a lot of journalists.)

Performed in a short play I wrote satirizing my boss for his going away party.

I wore a bald cap.

I'm a little tipsy on cheap red wine.

Now I'm off to a rehearsal for a short film.

Theresa Rebeck author of Three Girls and Their Brother: A Novel

Hosted by: Marsha Norman, Pulitzer Prize Winning Playwright

In her highly anticipated first novel, award-winning playwright Theresa Rebeck satirizes the publicity-driven world of instant celebrity. Rebeck will discuss her plays, including the Broadway hit Mauritius, and talk about the transition from playwriting to books.

Theresa Rebeck’s plays include ‘Bad Dates’, ‘Omnium Gatherum’ (a Pulitzer finalist), ‘The Scene’, and ‘Mauritius’, which won Boston’s prestigious IRNE and Elliot Norton Award and premiered on Broadway in 2007.
