I have just received a call from Judy Hook, who is in charge of some programs at the Durango Public Library. She would like our group to do a public reading in December! It's an adult audience, usually composed of anywhere from 8-80 folks from the community.
The first Tuesday of each month, they will have a series of readings in the downstairs program room, 7 to 8:30 p.m., beginning next week, Sept. 7, with "Women of the San Juans." She suggested we attend a reading or two before our gig in December, just to get the feel of the room. I'm going to try and go next tuesday, Sept. 7.
So-is anyone here free to join me? All we have to do is listen the first few times, maybe say hi to the organizers and schmooze a bit.
At the gig, in December, we will be reading all of our own original work!!!! We will not be using mikes, so in upcoming meetings we are going to practice projection and presentation techniques to get everyone feeling confident and ready to go. December is open, and I immediately snagged the spot for us!!! It's the first Tues. in December, 7 to 8:30ish. Short fiction, poetry....she sounded open to anything. Such a nice gal. I have invited her to our September meeting on Sept. 15, so we can get the down and dirty then, but I wanted to write and give you all the news of this amazing and fab opportunity!!
WILD WOMEN ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who's with me Tuesday? Time to storm the castle...
Maybe we could rendezvous for coffee beforehand and some writing chat? If I don't see you Tuesday nite at the library, and you are interested in participating in this event in December, please think about what you may want to present, and bring it to our next meeting on Sept. 15!!
