BWW Blog: Jennifer Rudin - FREEWAY - One Day Until Opening Night!

By:

My ten-minute play FREEWAY opens on Friday night as part of Eclectic Evening of Shorts X: Boxers & Briefs

But first a little backstory: I'm a native New Yorker, recovered professional child actress, long time casting director on both coasts, author of Confessions of a Casting Director and now A WRITER. Oh, and I'm also in my final semester of the MFA Dramatic Writing program at NYU.

Freeway began as a writing exercise for a class at NYU called Forms of Drama. The assignment was to write a What If play.

What If? What if Hamlet and Ophelia had a child? What if I could eat sushi every night and not die of mercury poisoning? What if I could meet Anne Frank?

What if I could go back in time and my inner voice would caution me not to marry my ex husband?

On your mark, get set, drive on the freeway......

See what happens when the play opens Friday night.
