August Experiments Each year, as September draws near, Paul Hagen becomes shockingly aware that he is about to be another year older. He usually attempts to ameliorate this by signing up for a bunch of projects that will make him feel he has accomplished something wild, weird or wonderful in the past year and this year is no exception. So, as part of the 31 Plays in 31 Days project, he’ll be writing a short play every day in August (or, potentially, 31 short plays on the last day of August). You, too, can join this ambitious project by visiting 31plays31days.com or follow Paul’s progress has he blogs about it at worldofhagen.wordpress. Or, if you’re in the New York area, on August 18 from 3:00 to 4:45pm, Paul will be participating in a “happening” called Write Out Front, in which playwrights write in the front window of the NYC’s famed Drama Book Shop with a live feed of their computer screens visible to passersby on the street. See writers of various levels of fame and misfortune take their turn from 11am to 7pm, Monday through Saturday from August 13th through September 1. More info at theaterspeak.blogspot.
