Hunger Pains

Levy has a new play!!

Anybody interested in checking out a fresh young adult play, read on for Aaron Levy's invitation (and details) to a free viewing of his play this Thursday at KSU:

You are invited to attend a staged reading of HUNGER PAINS (working title), my new play for young adults. The play is a little over an hour long. Afterwards we'll ask for your specific feedback to help the author attack revisions. A little background - Most of you have seen PIZZA WITH SHRIMP ON TOP. Levy was requested by his literary agent to write a play that could pair with PIZZA to create a possible full two hour evening of theatre. Below are her comments after reading the most recent HUNGER PAINS draft: "I read HUNGER PAINS (tentative title) and thought again you nailed the issues that kids need to know about, need to have revealed and theater as Abigal Adams said is the pulse of the people. I don't know if it works as the first act of PIZZA, you would have to have a table reading to see if that is the case. I have some concerns that scenes on stage with kids in the bathroom, in stalls with obvious intent, works for some schools, even some theaters. There is a real conservative strain in mid west theater where these scenes with vomiting, etc. may not be received and then they will lose out on seeing the play, getting the message. However, for me personally you dared to portray it as it is, true human behavior and its consequences and that's what kids need, in their face, for it to work. I like it." So besides getting some general feedback on what works and doesn't work about the play, we hope for feedback addressing the above concerns. That's where YOU come in. So please come, listen, and offer your sage advice! NOTE: If you have not seen PIZZA, there will be a showing on the same evening of the reading at 7 p.m. in the same room SO 1020 A&B OR you can contact Levy at alevy2@kennesaw.edu and pick up a DVD of PIZZA from him before the reading and view at your own convenience. This would take approximately 55 minutes. THANK YOU and hope to see you June 12th!
