Mr. Mamet, Meet Dr. Phil

Local playwright Jonathan Joy is having an impact on the west coast these days. He was one of 11 winners chosen for American Conservatory Theater's third David Mamet Writing Contest. Readings of the winning pieces were presented January 25 - January 26.

The winning plays combined Mamet characters with more mainstream media like Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz. Jonathan's entry was Danny and Bernard Backstage at the Dr. Phil Show.

Hopefully we'll get to see that somewhere closer to home. To read more about the competition, go here or over there. And congratulations, Jon!
