Print Room at the Coronet has today announced further details for Out of Blixen and Babette's Feast, two productions that will run consecutively, putting a spotlight on the fascinating life and writing of Karen Blixen. Although Blixen died 55 years ago, her work remains as relevant and enchanting as ever. A programme of talks and exhibitions will take up residency in the beautiful Victorian venue to accompany the two productions.

Written and first presented two decades ago, FULLY COMMITTED was revised and revived in New York recently with Broadway veteran and one of the costars of TV comedy hit 'Modern Family,' Jesse Tyler Ferguson. This brought enough interest in the show to warrant additional productions and Carolyn Griffin, artistic leader of MetroStage thought it was the perfect vehicle for two of the DC areas hardest working artists: Tom Story and Alan Paul.

Isak Dinesen once said, “To be a person is to have a story to tell.” Fiction has the power to entertain, but it often also does double-duty as a tool of instruction. Many people have been inspired by the characters of a novel, and with the release of his new science fiction novel “The Super Cyborg: Omega Chronicles Book I” (published by AuthorHouse), author Mack W. Wells hopes readers will be inspired by his story.
