My short play, How Does It Feel to be a Problem?, will be read by One Night Stand Theater in Aurora, Colorado, on Sunday, April 12, 7pm, at the Vintage Theatre (1468 Dayton Street).  One Night Stand does a monthly reading of short plays, around a theme.  This month, the series is entitled, Voices for Change–Tales of Social Strife and Injustice.

My piece is about a conversation between a white adoptive father and his teenage black son about the rules they need to have now that the son has more independence to wander around town. And the rules don’t seem fair at all.  This play is drawn directly from my own life and from conversations I’ve had with both my kids.

One Night Stand does an excellent job with these readings–they’ve done a bunch of my plays, including Quack, Santa Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, The Sky is Falling, and The Invisible Husband.  I’m glad to be included again.
