I Am a Welder

To heck with the gatekeepers; I’m building my own castle.

I’ve been waiting to say those words for so long now I can hardly believe they’ve actually become true.

Actually… what I’ve been waiting to say, really, are these words: I am a Welder.

For the last eight or nine months, my fellow Welders and I—playwrights and producers here in DC—have been working, scheming, meeting, planning, talking, discussing, writing, taking pictures, and wrestling with difficult questions… all, as you might imagine, as quietly as possible. That we’ve finally arrived at the day on which we can tell the world we exist feels like a tremendous relief. I’ve been wanting to talk about the things we’ve been doing for SO LONG… and I finally can!

But I don’t want this blog to be the focus of of attention today: find The Welders on Twitter, why don’t you, and say hello!
