Playwriting alum Ira Gammerman’s hilarious and dark short play “Billy Bitchass” will be apart of the 40th Annual Sam French OOB short play fest in NYC.  This is a highly prestigious short play fest and out of thousands of scripts, only 30 were selected.  The plays will be performed in NYC in front of an industry panel and the top plays will be published with Sam French.  Ira’s play will be done this Wednesday, August 5th at 8pm at 13th street theater; it also features an Ohio MFA actress alum, Marissa Wolf!

Check it out of you’re in NY!  Ira’s writing is way too funny to exist!
