September 2010 - May 2011 -- Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University
I am delighted to have been chosen as one of three Hodder Fellows at Princeton University for the 2010-2011 school year. In September, I'll join fiction writer ZZ Packer and poet Cynthia Cruz for a year of writing on independent projects. I'll be working on a play called "Magellanica: A New and Accurate Map of the World."
The Hodder Fellowship was created for artists in the early stages of their careers. In keeping with the bequest of Mary MacKall Gwinn Hodder, it is awarded to individuals during that crucial period when they have demonstrated exceptional promise but have not yet received widespread recognition. Typically, Hodder Fellows are poets, playwrights, novelists, creative nonfiction writers and translators who have published one highly acclaimed book and are undertaking significant new work that might not be possible without the “studious leisure” afforded by this fellowship. Hodder Fellows spend an academic year at Princeton pursuing independent projects.

October 17-24, 2010 -- Playwright-in-Residence at the Ashland New Plays Festival
After enjoying wonderful readings of SONG OF EXTINCTION in the 2008 Ashland New Plays Festival and 2009 ANPF Fundraiser, the nice folks there have asked me back to be Playwright-in-Residence there in 2010. I've grown to love this little theater town and their dedication to supporting new plays. Hope to see you there!
