petie by lori fischer

Tonight, I had the amazing pleasure to hear a reading of my friend's play called "Petie". Lori Fischer is a phenomenally talented writer (as well as singer, actor, and everything else) who is a grad student at NYU for dramatic writing. She received the honor of being a runner-up for the NYU Goldberg Award for this play. It was very intense - a story about a torn family in the south who loses a son/brother, Petie. The numerous characters test the ideas of faith, the strength of the human spirit, but most importantly, hope. I was fortunate to collaborate with Lori to design postcard mailers and posters for the play. And the best reward was experiencing this reading in person. Keep your eyes and ears out for this one~ She's going to make it big.
The other runner-up, "Flat Sam" by Antoinette Nwandu, has its reading next week - you should all go check it out. Info in flyer above...
