Mom. Playwright.

As my life is still consumed as of late with my new day job, which consists of grant writing and management for a nonprofit, I take personal and professional interest in the announcement of American Theatre Wing (best known for putting on the Tony Awards) giving away $125,000 to 50 NY nonprofit theatre companies this past Friday. Watch the broadway.tv video re the event here.

One recipient of special note, Women’s Project and Productions.

Kudos to American Theatre Wing, and congrats to all the grant recipients. Looking forward to seeing new works by mom playwrights mounted by you real soon!

“Writing is better than acting. You get to use your words, you don’t have to be there eight times a week, and I can guarantee you this moment beats the hell out of auditioning for Jag.”

-Tracy Letts, playwright, in his Tony Award acceptance speech for August: Osage County, after winning Best Play, June 15, 2008

Well, no, he’s not a mom, but I offer my congratulations for his work being recognized last night with this trememdous honor.

I concur with writing’s appeal when it comes to not having to be there eight times a week. How about you?
