Do you have any theater contacts? Or know someone who knows someone? Repertory companies, college/university drama departments, community theater, anything, anywhere, in or out of the country. Let me know, I'll send you the script of the play written about Whit's life and death, or send it to whomever you think should receive it. Feel to PM me also.

Gerry has officially "made it"!

This intro is unnecessary for those closest to me, but those others of you who have read Whit's blog may remember "Tiny," his only true friend at Terre Haute. His name is Gerald Duggan, and he was released a couple of years ago. In the meantime Gerry has become a close friend to me and a good friend to others in Cincinnati and elsewhere who have gotten to know him in the aftermath of Whit's passing.  Following his Associate's degree from Sinclair Community College last spring, Gerry has just received certification from the OCDP board as a Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant. He's currently working on his Bachelor's degree. I can't tell you how proud I am of Gerry. I know Whit is smiling too.

(No) Workshop

There will be no workshop in January. Given how well (that's an understatement) the reading was received last April, I had really hoped that it would be a straight line to the workshop, but I'm afraid it's not so. We're back to looking for a theater outside of Cincinnati to pick the piece up. I'd rather not talk about what led to this situation here on Whit's blog, but PMs are welcome if you'd like to know.

Workshop

The workshop for Zina Camblin's play about Whit's life and death has been moved back from December to January. I will keep everyone posted as the actual date is scheduled.
