West Side Girl festival news, new (and old) play productions, Helluva Dame gearing up for short film production, and more...

I know!  Yet again, way way behind on updates.  Being busy is a good thing, right?

And here's the news...

"West Side Girl" screened at the Cheyenne International Film Festival at the historic Atlas theater in Cheyenne, Wyoming on Saturday, May 19, 2012.  The programmers placed the film in the "Women's Voices" section (Program 4 -- Long Stories Short: Relationships and Voices of Women) because we had a woman co-producer (Liane Wunderlich - woohoo!) and lead actor (Shannon Lower - yay!).

The play "Kid Shamrock" will be making a brief comeback this August as the intro to a professional fight event.  More info on that later...and you know you want another chance to watch me haul off on the man playing my husband, the lovely John Duddy, former pro middleweight boxer.  Not my fault! His wife kept telling me to hit him harder... ;)

Also by the Kid Shamrock family, another play by Robert Cassidy, "Letters from Long Kesh" will be produced this summer, performance dates TBA.  A wonderful play about the lives of a family separated by The Troubles in Northern Ireland.  I shed a few tears while reading it... and am very much looking forward to the start of rehearsals.

"UrbanErotika" is in it's 10th year and we are celebrating for all of 2012!  Pics from the first two anniversary shows will be up soon!  And many more surprising twists and turns coming up from the UrbanErotika folks, but I don't want to give it away.  Yet.

After a small sabbatical, my company Helluva Dame Productions will soon be gearing up for fundraising and pre-production of the short film "A Dark Suit in Honolulu"!  So if I have your email address, you will probably be hearing from me...because you haven't received enough Indiegogo links yet this year, right?  ;)

All this and more coming up in the next few months, y'all.  Time to move forward.  At warp speed.

Bless,

Shannon
