Here's what Just Plain Folks says about how the nominations were determined … "The judges were given 1 criteria to judge: Does the music move you? If you're reading this (or representing an artist who is nominated) that means you moved a lot of people to make it all the way to the nominations from the largest body of music ever considered". Winners will be announced at the awards show to be held Saturday, August 29th in Nashville, TN.

Gilgamesh - A Verse Play is now available at iTunes, iTunes UK, and fine digital providers world-wide via its partnership with IODA.

Actors Scene Unseen's Production of "The Turn of the Screw" at Duke Energy Theatre was a Huge Success

Reviews

"… a ghost story onstage can convey a special aura when well performed. And this one certainly is. … Amy Laughter gives a stunning performance as the young Governess … Aaron White adroitly plays three characters: the Master, the Housekeeper, and the boy Miles … The lighting and set, designed by James Vita, also produce mysterious shadows, colors, and shapes. James's complex psychological study of the ghostly identities and fears that we carry within us, while alive, or find in others as shadows of repressed desires, comes alive in the various stage spaces, performing bodies, and theatrical effects of this production. …perhaps it will be revived by its talented director, Elizabeth Peterson-Vita, at some point in the future, so that more souls may experience the uncanny magic and wisdom of this show."

Amid a dense weekend schedule ... I was able to peep in on Actors Scene Unseen and their venture into Halloween latenight, The Turn of the Screw ... Meg Wood as the governess in Henry James's celebrated ghost yarn ... as followers of her work could have predicted, was merely outstanding ... The real news was Aaron White, making his Charlotte debut in all the other roles at Duke Energy Theatre. White soared over the borderlines that separate one gender from another -- and the living from the dead.
