Funny & Sad at the Same Time: Neal Adelman on Creating Strong Voices Onstage

You’ll hear all sorts of strong voices on today’s episode with playwright Neal Adelman weighing in on his flash play, “Ricky Jay Meets Pain,” read by Tahmus Rounds and Ben Bergstrom.  Expo editor Jessica June Rowe joins us for the interview portion as we delve into humor, pain, and submitting fearlessly. Read along at: http://expositionreview.com/flash-405/ricky-jay-meets-pain/ About the Reader: Neal Adelman was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX. His plays, screenplays, and short stories have been published, produced and--as Neal likes to put it--received some very cool recognition.   His full length play PONTIACS received the KCACTF Mark Twain Award, and his short film, TARRANT COUNTY, was invited to the 2019 Sedona International Film Festival and the 2019 Grove Film Festival in Jersey City. Recently, his brand new full length play LARRY’S HOME FOR   WAYWARD MEN had a staged re ading with Tantrum Easy Theatre Co. in NYC, and even more recently, he has been told that the editors just ‘locked picture’ on TRUCK FISHING IN AMERICA, a short film which he wrote, produced, scored, and acted in. When he’s not writing, he’s either fishing or playing in yet another shitty rock band. Currently, he lives, writes, works, plays, and loves in Las Cruces, NM.
