Hello again! Long time no see (speak? type? Eh.).
Janice and I have taken a well-deserved breather since our inaugural show closed back in June. But in the meantime, we've gotten some shout-outs in and around cyberspace:
The Wellesley Project: An Interview with the Co-Founders
Here's an interview we did on opening night with Wellesley Pride, the LGBTQ blog for our beloved alma mater. These are only snippets of a much longer, much more involved conversation about women in the media and our goals with the project.
Feminist Review: A Night of Shorts
And here's a very supportive but still very honest review of the show, by the lovely Marcie Bianco over at The Feminist Review. (FYI, you can check out some of my own reviews over there, too! End self-pimpage.)
Wow, it already feels like so much time has gone by since Janice and I were running around like maniacs trying to get a subway/stripper pole installed in the WorkShop Theater.
We've recently started running our writing workshops again, but this time we're not limiting ourselves to short pieces for a possible followup to this year's Night of Shorts, nor are we limiting ourselves to just women writers! But we are thinking about our next project(s), and it looks more and more like we'll be turning to film in the near future.
As always, we'll be sure to keep you posted.

THANK YOU!
Thank you all so much for making our first production such a success!
Thanks to your support (both in $ and in spirit), A Night of Shorts went off without a hitch and has been getting consistently wonderful feedback. One of our performer's managers even made it a point to tell us how impressed she was, after having attended countless showcases over the past few weeks.
We've updated the show page to include a few production photos and hope to include more by the end of the weekend. So please stay tuned!
Janice and I have already started discussing TWP's next project, and it promises to be ambitious. Of course, we'll be sure to keep you posted.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, comments, feedback on the show, or suggestions for future projects, we are always available at thewellesleyproject@gmail.com.

Two Days til Opening Night!
Just a quick reminder that we open this Thursday--yes, THIS THURSDAY--June 4th at 7pm!
Reserve your tickets now!
Things have been going great down at the theatre. It's wonderful to finally see all the pieces together, and we can't wait for you all to see them too!
We also wanted to announce that we've decided to hold a talkback after the Friday June 5th performance. That way, you can ask the directors what the rehearsal process has been like, how tyrannical Janice and I have been -- the usual.
As always, thank you all for your endless support. Hope to see you at the show!

Casting and Fundraising Party
Casting is DONE everyone. One less thing to worry about. There were so many talented actresses at auditions it made casting decisions very hard. I almost wish we had more plays so we can cast more people. In any case, we have such a great cast and crew! Thanks to our stage managers who were running around this past weekend and our awesome AD, who has been the driving force, along with Caitlin, behind our fundraising party.
Check out the Facebook invite!
Or if you don't have FB (who doesn't have Facebook these days? Shout out to YOU for not succumbing, haha):
Come join us while we drink, talk, and bid on some awesome auction items. There will be sex toys, dancing lessons, videography packages, baking lessons, etc.--all up for grabs to the highest bidder! And it will be a silent auction for those shy ones out there who secretly want to bid on the sex toys...
