Monday Night Reading Series
December 5, 2005 at 7.30pm
Miss Me Yet by Bill Black will be the final play in our 2005 Monday Night Reading Series at Neighborhood Playhouse"Miss Me Yet?" is the story of a man and a woman who, despite an obvious attraction for each other, are unable to have a relationship until Nancy, emerging from her failed marriage, tries one more time. It is told through a late night telephone conversation, and flashbacks to pivotal events that led them to this point in their lives.
This one act play is essentially the first chapter of Mr. Black's unpublished novel Trying to Say Goodbye, which elaborates on many aspects of the individuals and their relationship.
Bill Black was born in Virginia, and studied scene design at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Although he has a theatre background, for fourteen years he was in broadcasting, and won numerous awards from the Virginia Association of Broadcasters for his work with WRVA Radio and the University of Virginia. He is the proud owner of a study painted for the 1969 Tony award winning production "Child's Play" by Jo Mielziner. As a student, Mr. Black recreated the 1911 scene designs of Alexander Benois for the Pittsburgh Ballet production of "Petrouchka" in 1972, and won an award for his work on "Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street" while with Barksdale Theatre in Virginia. From 1967 until 1972, his summers were spent with "The Lost Colony", where he met his wife, Susan. They live in LaGrange, Georgia.
