Thanks you for the article noting the tragic passing of Georges Anglade and his wife.

The Robey Theatre Company is interested in offering a short-term writing residency to an emerging writer with permanent residency in Haiti.

The residency would be paid for (travel/room&board/small spending stipend/weekly writing lab @Robey/reading at end of residency).

The writer might also be interested in working with playwright Levy Lee Simon to condense Levy Lee's three-part trilogy about Touissant/Dessalines & Christophe into a shorter work that could be part of a NYC Marathon reading for 2011. Your help in finding such a candidate would be appreciated!
