Roughly 1 year ago I was just arriving in Belfast. Holy cow! I'd left New York and was on a big old adventure. Since returning to New York I have missed my new Irish family tremendously! Honestly, Ireland just feels like home to me like no other place I've ever been. I would to dedicate this day to all of my comrades in stripes living across Ireland can't wait to work with all of you again one day!
I've actually been quite lucky to be working with one of my dear friends Miss Siobhan Donnellan on a new play we've written together, For the Birds, which will have is world premiere at this summer's New York International Fringe Festival! It has been terribly interesting working across the sea on this and amazingly rewarding!
We got some wonderful feedback at our first public reading this past January in Limerick at the Belltable's Unfringe Festival.
Recently I was awarded fiscal sponsorship with Fractured Atlas a magical company that makes is so much easier for me to fundraise, yes I am in the middle of fundraising for the play.
My kick-off fundraising event, Ma Familia..., will be on May 8th at the Donaghy Theatre at 553 W. 51st Street starting at 1pm! It's a celebration of family and your chance to learn all about For the Birds and this fantastic collaboration and project. Please feel free to contact me for details if you're 'friends' on the old facebook you'll be getting an invite shortly!
All the best,
Jen
