ALANA MITNICK AND *AVON WALK FOR BREAST CANCER*
This
September I will be participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Los
Angeles. Since 1992, the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade has returned
more than $250 million for the cause. That money is distributed to five critical
areas: medical research, clinical care, support services, education and early
detection programs. We will be walking a total of 39 miles over the course of
two days, and raising a minimum of $1,800 in an effort to raise money and
awareness for breast cancer. Please take this opportunity to honor the women
you love by donating to the cause. Give whatever you can - every dollar really
does help. If you would like further information on the Avon Walk for Breast
Cancer, please visit www.avonwalk.org. You can click on the link below to make
your contribution and check out my personal walk page. Also, I would be honored
to dedicate my walk to someone you know who has been affected by breast cancer,
just send me an email.

Fatboy is a
black comedy that exposes the grotesque underbelly of human nature in all its
hilarious vulgarity. Based on Alfred Jarry's groundbreaking absurdist play Ubu
Roi, Fatboy follows its titular character and his wife Fudgie on their bloody
journey from the tenement slums to the heights of power. It is a live-action
Punch and Judy show, a fast-moving, shocking funhouse-mirror reflection of the
world today.
DISCOUNTS FOR NUEA
WEST MEMBERS
20% OFF FALL PLAYWRIGHTING WORKSHOP WITH
TREY NICHOLS
Saturdays 10am - 1pm
September 6, 13, 20, 27,
October 4, 11, 18, 25
Trey Nichols is
offering 20% discount to his fall playwriting workshop for NUEA West members.
The workshop is geared for intermediate to advanced playwrights, though new
writers are welcome. In a fun, supportive, and rigorous atmosphere, each
playwright brings up to eight pages of new work to be read aloud and discussed
in depth each week. At the conclusion of the 8-week
session, readings are held in a casual setting with local
actors. The aim of the workshop is to
further the development of each playwright's unique voice and vision, with the
goal of completing a one-act play or the first act of a
full-length play by the end of the 8-week course. Many plays developed in the
workshop have gone on to receive readings, workshops, and productions at
theatres around the
country.
Trey Nichols is
a playwright, actor, and solo performer, and has written more than a dozen
full-length and one-act plays, including THE MEADOWS, FATHERS AT A GAME, ONE
SLIT HEAD, and BODY FOUND. His solo show, A LESSON IN PROPER BOW-FLUFFING
TECHNIQUE (Storey Productions/Moving Arts), was nominated for a 2005 Ovation
Award for Solo Performance. His most recent
play, SUNNI TRIANGLE, received a staged reading in The War Plays Project,
produced by playwright EM Lewis. Trey is a company member and the former
Literary Director of Moving Arts, the highly acclaimed theatre in Los Angeles
where from 1995 to 2007 he produced and moderated the company's Playreading
Series and aided in the development of many new plays by playwrights from all
across the United States. Trey received a
B.S. in Theatre from Northwestern. He is a member of the Dramatists Guild of
America and the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights.
The workshop is
limited to eight playwrights. The venue is a private residence on LA's
westside.
Fee is $250 ($200
for NUEA WEST members). For info about the next session or testimonials, e-mail
