I did it!
For this year I will have had a public performance of my work in every single month!!!
My wild and crazy #SubmissionMission is to blame of course, at least partly, because I've gotten at least half a dozen requests through folks finding my work on the New Play Exchange and sending me a requests… And probably also my general habit of throwing caution to the wind and asking for things I want (something I highly recommend!).
Anyway, here's a full list of all the public performances I've had this year and what's still to come:

MY BODY, is by far my most produced and performed play, but RIPPED is starting to give it a run for its money, which I'm so excited about considering RIPPED is a full-length play. Anyway 2018 has been pretty great for me and my #SubmissionMission. Will my luck keep up in 2019?… We'll just have to wait and see I guess.
Happy Friday everyone!
