SWEDENBORG HALL
 JOINS SAN DIEGO PERFORMING ARTS LEAGUE -ANNOUNCES CALENDAR

Executive Producer DJ Sullivan and Rev. Carla Friedrich revealed some major firsts for 50-year-old SwedenborgHall - joining the SD Performing Arts League and releasing a calendar of theatrical events for 2007 which includes the world premiere of THE END OF DEATH (The Future Ain't What it Used to Be!) -a play commissioned specifically for the Hall 's first Playwright-in-Residence, Janet S. Tiger.

"This is a very exciting time for us - between DJ and Janet, we have a full season of great performances coming up," explained Rev. Friedrich, pastor of the Swedenborgian Church, where the Hall is located.  Friedrich also noted that,  "Janet 's play, RENNY'S STORY, premiered here at the hall last year to sold out houses and is being produced again in conjunction with Ohr Shalom at their stage right now.  (April 21 is the last night)  THE END OF DEATH is scheduled to open in August and will have a wonderful cast featuring Jonathan Dunn-Rankin, who most recently starred in 6th&Penn's GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS ."

DJ Sullivan, well-known for her stage and screen roles, has been conducting her Actors Workshop on Thursday evenings for decades and Sullivan Players will have two plays - TALKING WITH in May, and a Reader's Theater of WHO IS HARRY KELLERMAN AND WHY IS HE SAYING THESE TERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT ME? in October.

Sullivan and Tiger have theatrical connections going back 27 years - when Tiger's first play was read at a meeting of Scripteasers, a San Diego group for writers and actors.  The location of the reading - DJ Sullivan's house.

"It's a great honor to be the Playwright-in-Residence and work with DJ again," said Tiger.  The recipient of numerous national and local playwriting awards, including a COMBO-NEA Grant, this is Tiger's first residency.  "We have a great cast -  and Diane Shea will direct (she's directed many of my plays locally)- so I'm looking forward to a true ensemble experience." http://playsbyjanetstiger.com/END_OF_DEATH.html
