- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) May 15, 2014 - Female playwright and entrepreneur, Katherine James was named one of the 2014 finalist in the Little Black Dress INK, Female Playwrights ONSTAGE Project. Katherine's play Old Salt will be featured along with the other finalists at the May 18th Planting the Seed reading at the Los Angeles Theatre Center, and then produced in Prescott, AZ this Fall.
The Old Salt has been called the first post - "don't ask don't tell" play. The play is about Edward, a retired Admiral in The Nuclear Navy who thinks he has come to Marina Del Rey to fulfill the dream he and the love of his life shared. As he scatters the ashes of his great love, he is interrupted by his next door neighbor, Skip, who also served in the Navy. The Old Salt beautifully illustrates what is friendship, what is companionship, what does it me to start a new chapter of life?
The play will be read Sunday, May 18th at 12:00 pm at the Los Angeles Theatre Center 514 Spring St. Los Angeles. The reading will also be streamed online at 12:00 pm PDT at www.howlround.com .
Little Black Dress Ink is an experiment in support, inspired by recent revelations in numbers on the subject of just how few female playwrights actually get produced. Through outreach, education, and producing opportunities, Little Black Dress Ink strives to create more production opportunities for female playwrights while also strengthening the female playwright network.
