  I have just finished an amazing week-long workshop with The New Group, developing my play as part of the No Limits Reading Series. Under the guidance of Thomas Bradshaw and Ian Morgan, I got to collaborate with brilliant director Shariffa Ali and some incredibly talented performers to develop The 626 Project. The play has found a new title: The Wicked One.

It is full of energy and uniqueness from start to finish, getting you all caught up in this wacky but enlightening saga."

With her long list of illustrious credits, director Lisa Dring seems the ideal interpreter to corral Vangsness’ cheeky stream-of consciousness into a comprehensible format." https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-cm-99-seat-small-theater-la-20181102-story.html "Directed by the formidable Lisa Dring... Vangsness' quest for righting some tilting ancient windmills once turned by remarkable female rulers could not possibly stay lingering in the many-cylindered chambers tucked into the deepest crevices of their mentor’s volcanic mind. If you look up the term “force of nature” in the dictionary, don't be surprised if the entry includes a photograph of Kirsten Vangsness." http://ticketholdersla.com/review-archives-winter-2018-to-/ |
