The Postcard Plays

Here's a startling statistic: 9 out of 10 Americans have never received a postcard with a play written on it.

I'm outraged too. But we can piss and moan about this sorry state of affairs or we can act, and I have decided that it's time I did my part to heal this broken world. Therefore hear this: I will write you a play on a postcard and mail it to you. It will be new and just for you, and you can perform it with finger puppets at your kitchen table or simply read it in the bathroom. Together we can change an invented statistic. Will you join me in the fight?

To take part, email your address to postcardplays (at) gmail.com. I promise I won't drop by unannounced or share your info with anybody.

This is open to anyone who may be a victim of our cultural neglect.
