  • PlayPenn announces playwrights! Lindsay announces stuff! Nick remains cryptic!

    Earlier this week, PlayPenn announced which plays it will be developing and presenting this summer, and I’m excited to see that James Ijames is among the selected playwrights.  James is a local playwright whose play, The Most Lamentable Trial of Miz Martha Washington, had a kickass reading at Playpenn two years ago (and was produced by Flashpoint…
