April 2026 - The complex dynamics between two of the Ptolemy sisters was on full display as David presented two more scenes from the current rewrite of Act I of Arsinoë IV, his ancient Egyptian drama that tells the story of Cleopatra's younger half-sister, Arsinoë. These two scenes, however, did not include the youngest princess, who was alseep in her bed. The brilliant cast for this reading included Diana Cherkas (Berenice), Jayson Kerr (Ganymedes) and Rudaba Nasir (Cleopatra), with Mary Lahti reading multiple roles - some on camera at the same time - and the effervescent Sharlene Hartman providing stage directions. Other writers whose brilliant work was presented include Kit Goldstein Grant, Alex Gray, Marc Castle, and Ruthie Rado.

March 2026 - David's been busy working on the next draft of the story of Egyptian Princess Arsinoë, a sibling of and rival to her much more famous sister, Cleopatra. Brand new opening scenes will be presented during Vol 254, which will celebrate The PlayGround Experiment's 11th Anniversary! Other writers scheduled to present scenes of their 'work in process' include Evan Edwards, Jacob Marx Rice, Marina Barry, and Orlando Rodriguez. Join us!
