JAMES STILL ELECTED TO THE NATIONAL THEATRE CONFERENCE
Playwright James Still is a newly-elected member of the National Theatre Conference and was inducted on October 30, 2009 at the historic Players Club in New York City.
The National Theatre Conference, founded in 1925, is a cooperative association of distinguished leaders of the American theatre — university, community, and professional. Membership in the conference is by invitation only, and is limited to 120. The conference operates as a theatrical “think tank” and meets annually to review and confer on matters pertaining to the welfare and development of the theatre and to honor outstanding achievement of organizations and individuals in the field. For more information, see www.nationaltheatreconference.org.
Of special note to Mr. Still is that the National Theatre Conference meets annually at The Players Club at 16 Gramercy Park in New York which was where Edwin Booth lived (and died). Audiences will remember that Edwin Booth was a character in James Still’s recent play THE HEAVENS ARE HUNG IN BLACK. For more information about The Players Club see www.theplayersnyc.org/.

James Still, as you probably remember, is the playwright-in-residence at the Indiana Repertory Theatre. He was one of my first interviews for this blog.
Yay, James!
