I’m having bad luck with media coverage lately, have you noticed?

So tonight, The Love of Three Oranges opens in Indiana and if you are anywhere near the area of the Avon High School Performing Arts Center, you may want to check it out. I know the cast and crew had been working very hard on the production so it should be a great show. There is some media coverage on their performance here. I highly recommend you check it out if you are in the area.

As for the article, this time they didn’t spell my name wrong. They just left it out entirely and claimed my play was based on an opera. Sigh. I can’t seem to win.

I do want to take a second to clear up a mistake in the article, however, before someone bites someone’s head off. The article says, “The story is based on an opera” which is, of course, not true. The opera (meaning Prokofiev’s The Love for Three Oranges) as well as my play are both based off the 1761 commedia dell arte scenerio L’amore delle tre melarance by Carlo Gozzi. My play isn’t based off the opera (actually, it’s rather different from the opera in terms of plot), we both just share the same source material. I guess the confusion comes because most people are more familiar with the opera than the original scenario.

I emailed the author of the article, hopefully he will correct it.

You know me, just trying to clear up misconceptions wherever I go. 😉
