Thanksgiving approaches

Thanksgiving approaches.

Just got the Theatre Bay Area New Works Fund commission. (Yay.) Which also means that I’ll be developing a new play with AlterTheater for 2011. Which also means I need to start thinking and writing. (Oy.)

In other news, following my first quarter at UCSD, I’ll be heading to New York in December for a reading at Desipina and then at Pan Asian Rep. (Come find me there!)

Happy pumpkin month!

One month later, I have settled nicely into UCSD life. I now bemoan “low 70s?!” weather, but at the same time, I still manage sans car and bike, so in a way, nothing ever changes.

Nothing else on the Lauren front, except for writing and writing, though if you’re in Chicago or New York soon, you could catch this or this.

Visit my brother’s flickr. He is funnier than me and also apparently better at blogging.

Staying Put

laurenyee — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:19:27 +0000

After fifteen months of unstructured, run-around-the-country-ness, I start my MFA program in playwriting at UCSD next week. Which of course means not only a regular schedule but also a regular place to be in for the next three years.

But first, a look back on some of the places I’ve been since June 2008:

Dallas, TX
Houston, TX
Galveston, TX
Woodstock, NY
Montauk, NY
New York Mills, MN
Peterborough, NH
Ithaca, NY
Worcester, MA
Marseille, France
Aix-en-Provence, France
Barcelona, Spain
Edinburgh, Scotland
London, England
Dublin, Ireland
The Poconos
Cambridge, MA

And soon enough, San Diego…

Happy first and CCC in 2010

Happy first of August.

I’ve once again returned to the comforts of Starbucks in hopes of actually writing something this month.

And for those in the New York and Seattle areas, mark your calendars. I’ll be a-coming there and there in 2010 for Ching Chong Chinaman at here and here.

I’ll post dates and directors and details as they come.

(Yay for traveling.)

“Thar she closed!”

laurenyee — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 03:56:57 +0000

Okay, this is from July 26, but I’m going to pretend I posted it here back then…

Everything happening in July just ended, leaving me to ponder endless rewrites for the month of August.

But exciting news about Ching Chong Chinaman for 2010 coming soon…

Goodbye, Scotland

laurenyee — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:05:16 +0000

Finally back from Scotland, several pounds heavier and several hundred ₤s lighter. But at least I finished my BAPF play like I needed to, all in the company of shortbread, afternoon tea, and the bees that would come into my writing room and inexplicably die on the windowsill.

Which means I’m now prepping for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival and the reading at Silk Road. Yay. Get your tickets here and here.

Two items

laurenyee — Fri, 29 May 2009 19:16:37 +0000

Two new items of note, if you happen to 1) be in North Carolina in July (unlikely) or 2) be at the ATHE conference in August (probably even more unlikely, unlikelier?).

1. Fallingwater at The ArtsCenter in July

I know so little about theater anywhere besides California and New York, so it’s always nice to be reminded that the arts exist somewhere else, and these folks seem. I won’t be able to randomly get out to North Carolina in the middle of July, but hey, maybe you will and you can tell me about it. You’ll note that I pretensiously took out the space in “falling water” to make it seem more interesting than it is. It’s especially nice since it’s a short play that I wrote for Monday Night PlayGround that gets to see the light of day.

2. Jane Chambers honorable mention for CCC

Maybe it’s all the time I spent at Yale, but women in theater is an issue that always ends up being a sensitive, miffling issue for me, which is why I love the fact that the Jane Chambers playwriting contest and other stuff like it exists. So it was terribly flattering to get an honorable mention for Ching Chong Chinaman in this year’s contest. Don’t know who the other winners/finalists are, but it’s usually pretty good company.

Scotland (and relative technology isolation) in three days!
