Have your 2010 calendar yet? Close to Long Island City? Like your plays brief and bleak?

If you've checked off all of the above, I hope you'll make it to The Secret Theatre for the Queens Players' Act Five Festival, which will present my one-act, HOLD, along with a program of five other shorts January 13-17. Audience favorites will be granted a short extension January 20-23rd.

HOLD is about a desperate man seeking aid from a mental health hotline, who is instead sent into a surreal, automated phone system purgatory.

HOLD, directed by Kelly Johnston
and Five Other One-Act Plays
Presented by The Queens Players

January 13-17th (8pm)
