I received especially invaluable advice from former Artistic Director Ellis Baker of Eventide Arts.

I also had the pleasure of speaking via telephone with Shannon Goheen, President of Eventide Arts, to gather material for a press release.  I will post a link to the press release when it goes live – but for now:

“Fifteen Men” will be read at the charming Dennis Union Church in Dennis, MA (along old Route 6). I drove by the church the other day and found it to be an extremely picturesque and beautiful spot:
