I'm pleased to report that I actually spent a couple of hours working on play number three on Friday, but that's really not important at this very moment.
I will take a proud moment's step aside from play-writing stuff to announce that two theatrical individuals have announced their intention to be wed. Although we had some advance notice (though no level of certainty), our son, Andy, and future daughter-in-law, Sarah Denhardt, called us from Culpeper, Virginia this morning, where they were overnighting and enjoying a brief getaway from the nation's capitol to inform us that they were officially engaged. Andy is a working lighting designer, assistant lighting designer, electrician and other theatrical-lighting-related taskmaster mostly in D.C. Sarah has acted and directed and is now the manager of special events with renowned Arena Stage in D.C., a huge job currently as Arena is wholly renovating its spaces and preparing for a grand reopening in a year and a half or so.
We are just so excited for both of them. The wedding itself is anticipated in the fall of 2009. Wow!

About Me
- Bill
- Over the roughly 35 years since college, my career has chiefly involved writing in one form or another: advertising, copywriting, public relations and similar work, in addition to several stints as a freelance writer for newspapers and magazines. During the 1980s, I also wrote genre short stories that were published in the small press. Since 2004, I've returned to freelancing and added playwriting in 2006 as a way to write something uniquely mine.

CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting! You know how much I love weddings. And planning. And making lists -- so if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.
While I certainly appreciate your offer, Myla, unlike what will happen to you, hopefully, when your girls grow up, we have the MALE side of this wedding. Which means, other than hosting the rehearsal dinner and planning our gifts, we show up and shut up. We will get to meet Sarah's parents in mid-September for the first time, and I've already chatted with her mother on the phone, and she sounds delightful, as is Sarah herself. We're very excited. Kathy's been wandering about with this huge grin since Sunday morning.
