THE PLAY’S THE THING
Thank you to everyone who’s bought tickets to the September 26 performance of my new play, Stuff, at the United Solo Festival in midtown Manhattan. We’ve already opened in DC and received lovely reviews. 

At this writing, we only need to sell 8 more tickets to sell out the NYC performance. And if we do, they’ll give us another performance date.

In DC Theatre Scene, Christopher Henley gave Stuff 5 stars, “It’s a lovely, wonderfully written, beautifully detailed, and resonant solo show that I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone…” he wrote. Buy tickets on line here. —John Feffer, director, Foreign Policy In Focus; editor, LobeLog Institute for Policy Studies www.johnfeffer.com
