Helen Hayes Nomination

Birds of a Feather, my gay penguin play, has been nominated for Best New Play by the Helen Hayes Awards. I'd like to extend a warm thanks to the four immensely talented actors--Dan Crane, Matt Dewberry, Eric Messner, and Jjana Valentiner--who really brought this play alive at the Hub.

Incidentally, Pale Male, the red-tailed hawk who is one focus of the play, recently suffered a tragedy. His mate, Lima, was found dead in Central Park. The working theory is that she ate a rat that had eaten poison. I suspect fowl play.
