TT: I rejoice to report...

...that Long Wharf Theatre 's 2012 production of Satchmo at the Waldorf, my first play, has been nominated by the Connecticut Critics Circle for two awards. John Douglas Thompson, the star, was nominated as Outstanding Leading Actor in a Play, and Gordon Edelstein, who staged Satchmo, was nominated as Outstanding Director of a Play. This is, needless to say, a new experience for me, and I couldn't be more pleased for my eminently deserving colleagues.

The winners will be announced in New Haven on June 10. For a complete list of nominees and information about the award ceremony, go here .
