Surfacing: Aug. 15 in Greenwich Village
I’m very excited to announce my son Michael’s newest play, SURFACING, being developed by Primary Stages as part of the Drills 2016 series! For you non-theater folk, Primary Stages is a celebrated Off-Broadway company. Basically, this is kind of a big deal for Michael.
The month long rewrite process culminates with a FREE staged reading Monday, August 15th at 4pm at the Lucille Lortel Theater in Greenwich Village. Here’s the link to book your seat:
I will still be in Europe at that time, but I hope you can make it. It is free, but you need to book a seat.

The Critics Have Been Kind
I had a few reviews of Banshees recently, and the critics have been kind. The Hampshire Gazette reviewed it today in Book Bag (Friday, Aug.7.) If you have a copy, take a look:
“Amherst author Eileen Kennedy has written widely over the years…She also had a special love for poetry, publishing in many journals. Her newest book, “Banshees,” features 19 of her poems, many of which explore the process of aging and death.”
–Steve Pfarrer
“Banshees contains the essence of many stories, and we fortunate readers are grateful for the experience.”
–Terry S. Johnson, author Coalescence
I am grateful for their generous words.
