13P is four stories high

Perseverance may the most important quality you can cultivate as a playwright. For example, stick with your dream of being a producing collective long enough, and you may find yourself attracting a spectacular staff of unpaid volunteers who will work 16 straight hours to pull off a gorgeous and glamorous benefit.

It seems like just a few moments ago (though it was actually seven years) that Joy Katz was designing the 13P logo on her laptop. Last week that logo was projected four stories high on the outside of the building across the street from 3LD in downtown Manhattan. (With animated falling leaves, yet.)

Q: What is BRING A WEASEL AND A PINT OF YOUR OWN BLOOD ?

A: It is a festival of plays: adaptations written by current and former students of Mac Wellman at the Brooklyn College MFA playwriting program. This year's festival will take place in late July 2010 at the East 13th Street Theater, featuring adaptations by alums Corina Copp, Ben Gassman, and Kobun Koluza of stories from The Apocrypha

Directors include Meghan Finn and Julia Jarcho.
Produced by Sara J. Asselin, Ariel Stess, Caitlin Brubacher, LaShea Delaney and Alexandra Collier.
Each year, the Weasel benefit goes a long way toward making the festival possible. Note: If you'd like to contribute but are unable to attend, please contact any of the people listed above or e-mail LaShea Delaney at bringaweasel@gmail.com

Previous Weasel playwright/producers include: Bianca Bagatourian, Erin Courtney, Susan Dunlap, Trish Harnetiaux, Laura Jones-Katz, Karinne Keithley, Sibyl Kempson, Matt Korahais, Kristen Kosmas, Kate Ryan, Valerie Work, Richard Toth, Normandy Sherwood, Scott Adkins.

Meet our six newest MFA graduates, who are an extraordinarily lauded group — they can already boast of honors from the Great Plains Theatre Conference, Theatre Masters, the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, Centenary Stage's Women Playwrights Series, and The Playwrights' Center.
