For the past year, I've been working with a collective of writers called The Metronome Society. Every month we pulled the name of a record album out of a hat or hat-like container and each of us wrote a short play inspired by that album. It was an exciting way to meet some new music and play with some new ways to find stories to tell. I wrote plays inspired by albums by the Dresden Dolls, Fiona Apple, Heart, Aretha Franklin, and Jimi Hendrix.
Now the Metronome Society is producing an evening of some of our work. Not only is my Jimi play Introduction to Experiences being produced, but I'm also directing the show, which will feature live music from the albums the plays were based on.
This project is just so much FUN! And it supports local, female, independent artists which makes it doubly fun for me.
Self-Titled: a live (theatrical) mixtape is running July 16, 17 & 18 at the Jewelbox Theater at the Rendezvous in Belltown.
