This Might Be Overkill...
...seeing as how I just posted yesterday, but I have some news.
An itemized list:
1. I was selected as a Fund for New Work recipient by Harlem Stage and the Jerome Foundation. I will receive grant funding to hire an artistic team [director, dramaturg and actors] to further develop my play, LYDIE, OR (S)HE WHO LOOKS INSIDE, AWAKES.
2. My play WHEN LAST WE FLEW will be workshopped by About Face Theatre Company in Chicago in late January.
3. My play AND SHE WOULD STAND LIKE THIS will be workshopped as part of the Drama League's Rough Draft Residency in late February. This piece is a collaboration with my friend and apartment-mate [and pretty fantastic director], David Mendizabal.
4. My play THE SEA & THE STARS is being read by Literary Managers at The Public, Second Stage, Lincoln Center Theater 3 and Williamstown Theatre Festival. Hopefully someone will love it!
That's all.
I have no more to report.
Happy Friday everyone!
Much love,
H

To Do or Not To Do...
So... I'm posting.
Kansas is rainy and cold. Unlike New York which was dry, blue skied and less cold. Good thing I like crappy weather.
I am here for Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. The only holiday I enjoy, really. I am happy to be home.
Happy for a many reasons--family, yes, of course, family, and good food. But also the slower pace and peace and quiet and no obligations.
Home is the perfect place to get things done.
My to-do list for the week:
1. An Act One outline for a musical entitled THE LAST QUEEN OF CANAAN
2. An outline for an adaptation of Geoff Dyer's novel BUT BEAUTIFUL for Ron Cephas Jones
(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0429171/)
3. First draft of a One Act Play entitled LENA, DOWN SOUTH for Ruby Thomas
4. Notes for a musical re-telling of SAMSON & DELILAH
5. An edit of my most recent play entitled THE SEA & THE STARS
Totally do-able.
In fact, I'm more excited now than I was before I typed the list. Energized even.
That's the Kansas effect.
Happy Thanksgiving indeed.

Grandma Azer to Houston
Here's the update : Grandma will be leaving from Manhattan tomorrow, Thursday, November 21.
Rena will be picking her up in Dallas, so that she can only have to take one flight. She checked the flights and she's off tomorrow so it works out for her to pick grandma up.
Thanks Lee & Q for offering to pick up Grandma. Rena has the off so she's got it, not unless she changes her mind between now and tomorrow.
Grandma will stay down there with them at least until the middle of December. She has to come back to do her housing papers, so that she can keep her apartment.
In other news!
Harrison is here!!!!!

Lift Up Aunt Rena & Siddiq
Got word a couple of hours ago that uncle Siddiq is in the hospital. He had internal bleeding so they're doing exploratory surgery, they maybe done right now. Be sure to lift them up in prayer. They believe that the cancer has come back, not sure where.
Rena called pretty upset to Grandma Azer. We are looking into getting Grandma down to Texas.
Also be in prayer for Jeffrey. Because of his teeth being so bad, he will have to have all of them pulled next week. This is extra stress Rena to handle by herself.
I will try to keep you posted. Lee has been running point for us in Texas. He plans on going by the VA to see Siddiq and Rena and check on Jeffrey.
