Cherilynn Brooks. Director of "Pass the Salt, Please." for Erotic Shorts Festival in Seattle.

Cherilynn Brooks is directing my short play, "Pass the Salt, Please." at The Little Red Studio's Erotic Shorts Festival in Seattle, April 24-26, May 1-3. Coincidentally, the play will be performed at the opening night gala for the Seattle Erotic Art Festival on April 30. It's a private shin-dig for all the artists the night before that festival opens.

And now, a little bit about Director Cherilynn Brooks: Actor, screenwriter, singer, and songwriter, trained at the Cornish College of the Arts. She has worked with the world renowned Larry Pisoni and appeared in his production of CIRCUS OF FOOLS in 1998. She also appeared in VIA SATELLITE, and KATYDIDS in 1997 and starred as Emily in the premiere production of FRIED RICE AND KETCHUP which has since been published in THE BOOK OF ESTROGENIUS, 2000. Cherilynn made her film debut on BLOCK PARTY as the rocker Beth. She also writes her own music. One of her songs, SLIVER, was chosen to be the end credit song for BLOCK PARTY. Cherilynn co-wrote LEAVE IT, and also plays the lead Character, Trish. Her vocals were put to use once again in the theme song for LEAVE IT, Come Over Here. Her current project is co-writer on the feature length script, PRINCESS AND BUDDHA, in which she is attached to play Billy, the charming, but destructive grunge girl. PRINCESS AND BUDDHA was well received at the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival where she read the part for Billy.

I'm excited. Kerry Christiansen, Managing Director at The Little Red Studio, says Cherilynn and the actors cast in my play are excellent. We shall see - as I'll be in attendance to see the show.
