Millies in Merrimack Valley Magazine

The Nov/Dec 2008 issue of the glossy pub Merrimack Valley Magazine has an excellent summary of the Millies: Playing With A Movie stage adaptation performed in September. Page 12 has the scoop, plus some great pics by enthused audience member and colleague Logan Seale.

Lorre Guest Speaking at College

Excited to be doing a presentation for the Contemporary Affairs Club at Northern Essex Community College Nov. 12th. The topic will be Millies but also the labor issues and historic research surrounding the textile strike of 1912, the Bread & Roses Strike. And discussing the similarities and parallels between then and now. Can I just tell you, I love talking about the history and research aspects of the project and how I use them in a modern-day story because the lessons, for better or for worse, still apply.
