the reading exceeded everyone's expectations. This was a script-in-hand reading with minimal blocking and no costumes and I must say the audience was ON. They laughed explosively at all the right times and were captivated right to the end. The producer says he is 'thrilled' and so is everyone else connected to the play. The literary manager of a very prestigeous NYC theater stood in line to congratulate me and gave me her card. We've agreed to stay in touch. 
The director is also a producer and I sent him a couple of my other scripts today, so I can't really predict which way it is going, but there is a lot of interest in my work all of a sudden. I HOPE it turns into something. I ran into the librarian from a local elite boarding school (I wrangled student volunteers for the community service program) on my way in to rehearsal and she emailed me to tell me she ordered a copy of my novel,"Weep," and if her book club wants to read it will I come talk to them about it. All good things!
I made a short slideshow of the reading and party of "Broken Heart Land" from snapshots that Mr. Pup took with available light, so some are a bit blurry. I enjoyed doing this reading every step of the way from my first meeting with the producer to the last sip of Guinness at the party. I am in awe of all the talent involved and will never forget how gracious they all were in lending their special gifts to this project.
