The Ojai Playwrights Conference has announced participants for its 12th annual program of playwrights, readings and symposiums, to be held in August in Ojai, California, with public presentations scheduled for August 11-16.
Plays being developed include Stephen Belber's Dusk Rings a Bell, Bill Cain's; How To Write A New Book For The Bible: A play for an older actress, Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig's Lidless, Stephen Adly Guirgis' Motherf***er!, David Weiner's Extraordinary Chambers, and Leslie Carrara-Rudolph's Entertaining a Thought: The Imagination Project.
In addition, Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori will be writers in residence, working on a musical adaptation of Alison Bechdel's graphic novel, Fun Home, which charts the author's attempt to understand her father through the common and unspoken bond of their homosexuality.
There will be a symposium on the American musical on August 11, featuring Tesori and other musical theater luminaries. Another symposium will focus on solo performance, and be held on August 13, featuring Kron, along with Steve Connell, Sekou (tha Misfit), Mozhan Marno, Leslie Carrara-Randolph, and Charlayne Woodard.
