I learned today with great pleasure that my historical farce “Philosophus” is going to be produced by Best Medicine Repertory Theatre of Gaithersburg, Maryland as part of their (second) 2018-2019 theatrical season.

Best Medicine is a theater that specializes in comedies (because laughter is… “the best medicine!”) and is the only professional theater company in Gaithersburg (Maryland’s fourth largest city).

Fittingly, “Philosophus” was first presented to the world by Best Medicine was part of their 2017 new play reading series, where, in November, 2017, it was given a wonderful staged reading. The director of thats how – Stan Levin – also directing “Philosophus” early next year.

Shortly after the November reading, Best Medicine – helmed by playwright and actor John Morogiello, with a number of very funny plays to his credit – was about to occupy their own theatrical space in Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg. They launched their first theatrical season just this year (four plays, plus other special events) and are going strong!

I’m honored to be a part of Best Medicine’s second season!
