Waiting…This Weekend on DNTO

mainimageBreak ups are hard enough…but when you add in the perfunctory STD tests, they become excruciating. This week’s DNTO show is all about waiting, and I talk about how waiting for those test results can turn an average, ordinary person in to an absolute raving lunatic…not that I am speaking from experience.

OK, I am speaking from experience.

It airs this Saturday on CBC Radio One 89.3 FM, 990 AM at 1 pm. (I will be on between 2 pm and 3 pm)

She’s Not There at the Winnipeg Fringe!

We are now in rehearsals for our new fringe play, She’s Not There. SNT is a dark comedy about a couple who find their happy(if not boring) existence threatened when they meet their neighbor, who happens to be a “perfect girl”.

Find out more about it at the Winnipeg Fringe site where you can also buy tickets. Stay tuned here and on the show page for updates and reviews.

A Feminist Wedding goes big time

Well…maybe not big time. But “bigger time” anyway.

My blog, A Feminist Wedding caught the eye of a reporter over at the Houston Chronicle, and it led her to include me in her article about feminist weddings!

It’s a very interesting article, that begins with the sentence “Alix Sobler is getting married.”

YIKES!

You can read the article, and my reaction to it, on my blog, feministwedding.blogspot.com.

A great reading and FRINGE SOON!

There was an amazing reading of The Golem on Sunday night, by a seriously phenomenal cast. Picture of the event will be posted shortly.

And in big news…The Fringe approaches! My new play She’s Not There is so on, and I’ve got venues and time details coming up really soon…stay posted.

REMINDER: A reading of The Golem

This weekend there will be a reading of my play ‘The Golem” in New York. ‘The Golem” is a play about a group of actors living in the Warsaw Ghetto who get together to put on a play. Originally produced at Brown University in 2001, this play has really stuck with the original cast and crew, prompting its “resurrection”. If you are going to be in New York on May 31st, you should come check it out.

WHAT: A reading of “The Golem”

WHEN: May 31st, 2009 7pm

WHERE:  Shetler 1 (244 West 54th Street, 12th floor
between Broadway & 8th Avenue)

RSVP to the event on Facebook.

WHO: Ben Steinfeld: Sam

Emily Young: Malka

Megan Hart: Mitzi

Rebecca Hart: Anne

Michael Benjamin: David

Jorge Cordova: Jonathan

Harry Barandes: Isaac

First impressions…This weekend on DNTO

mainimage

Meeting the in-laws for the first time. Who doesn’t want to make a good impression? Tune in to DNTO this week to hear the amazing true story about how my partner Jason met my family for the first time, and what kind of first impression he made on the whole mishpucha (that’s family in yiddish, by the way).

It airs this Saturday on CBC Radio One 89.3 FM, 990 AM at 1 pm.
