 Clearly, I have been lax about updates. So here we go!
First of all, THE ROYAL FAMILY was a complete treat to work on. An insanely
talented and kind company made that one a very special experience, and I'm
so grateful to have worked on it. Thanks to all of you who got to see it!
Thanks, too, to the folks who saw my subsequent directorial gig, DADDY, a
new play -- the first, in fact -- by Dan Via, who was also in the show. The
production (and I) got a slew of nice reviews. My direction was praised as
"clear and unpretentious" (BroadwayWorld) and "smart" (nytheatre.com);
"Hilder keeps the action moving, escalating at an appropriately involving
speed" (Show Business Weekly), and "There's lots of laughter, lover, anger,
sadness and even fear...Hilder not only makes it happen, he helps elevate
the play" (CentralJersey). "Daddy is a triumph for all three actors, as well as
director David Hilder, who gets extra credit for packing so much great stuff
into a fast-moving 95 minutes" (DishMiss.com). Rah.
And now comes Wet Ink! Last year, Reverie Productions decided to mount a
week of new play readings and workshops, work that had been generated in
Reverie's playwrights' lab and found through their annual Next Generation
Playwriting Contest. The festival was such a hit that it's back again, and I'm
involved in three evenings of the work.
Please join us at the the drilling compaNY, 236 W. 78th Street. The reading
series will run February 28 -- March 6 at 7pm (plus Saturday 3/6 at 3pm),
and guess what? It's free (all right, there's a $5 suggested donation -- but
this is a bargain, folks). Check out www.reverieproductions.org for all the
details; I'm directing readings on Sunday 2/28 and Wednesday 3/3, and a
short play of my own is part of the Monday 3/1 evening.
Thanks! | |
