Tonight in Provo, New Play Project begins a series of shows featuring five of their most popular plays:
“A Burning in the Bosom,” by Melissa Leilani Larson
“Foxgloves,” by Matthew Greene
“Gaia,” by Eric Samuelsen
“Adam and Eve,” by Davey Morrison
“Prodigal Son,” by James Goldberg
I have a vested interest in these revivals as I helped publish, through Peculiar Pages, the volume Out of the Mount which features these and fourteen other excellent plays produced by NPP over their short yet remarkably fruitful existence.
Currently, you can get two-for-one tickets to the first weekend’s shows if you invite ten or more Provo-local Facebook friends to the Facebook Event. They are also doing straight-up ticket giveaways to tonight’s show on their website and Facebook page.
I’m quite jealous of anyone close enough to see the show. I’ve gone on and on elsewhere about how much I love “Gaia” (1) and “Prodigal Son” (1 2) but all five of these plays are excellent and worthy of your attention (1 2 4 5 6). (Seventh witness via William Morris.)
Go and witness for yourself (Sept. 16-20 and 24-27, 7:30pm; $7 general admission, $6 students with ID).
And pick up a copy of Out of the Mount.
Then return and report.

Theric,
I too feel quite jealous.
By the way, do you know about Dallas Robbins’s (positive) review of The Fob Bible in the latest Dialogue?
.
Yes, but I haven’t read it yet. I expect my copy to arrive soon.
.
It arrived. It was lovely.
I do feel kind of bad that the review was sort of The Eric & Danny Show, but hey! Eric and Danny are awesome!
