First, the Ten-Minute Play, and now this, the latest in reductive theatre. The 2001 Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville brought its third season of Phone Plays. Here's the deal: there's a bank of phones, right? And a line of people. So, you amble on up, pick up the phone, and, with a delicious sense that you're eavesdropping, stand there and listen. Instead of commissioning plays this year, they asked cutting edge small theater companies from across the country for their best three minutes in a receiver. Becky wrote one of the phone plays for the 1999 season, entitled Visitation. She lives in Leland, Michigan, and is currently doing a stint in LA working as a writer/producer on HBO's "Arli$$," starring her old friend Robert Wuhl. related info
