Adding on to the submitting, writing, rewriting, rehearsing, and teaching, I also am at my kids’ swim practice a lot. It’s pretty boring stuff, which makes me thankful that the New Play Exchange exists. While my children lap the pool, I get to read and recommend amazing new plays, basically we’re all winning.
