Mark Southers, founder and artistic director of Pittsburgh Playwrights Theater, has announced that PPTCO will open its 2009/10 season in September with VALU-MART.
The irony is that VALU-MART was not submitted to PPTCO as part of my "365 in 365" campaign, but rather it was sent almost two years ago when the script was still in draft form. The current enthusiasm for producing it, however, did come about from a 365 submission . . . of another play to a different theatre that happens to have a board member who also sits on the board of PPTCO. One thing lead to another and, voila. Very weird and very welcome.
PPTCO is neither a major regional theatre nor off-Broadway, but it's a respected company that does excellent work, and its productions are reviewed in two major newspapers and a weekly. A wonderful starting point for VALU-MART.
So, today, 144 days in, the first production has been won.
