"Pound of Flesh" Press Release (and all that)

Okay, so a press release may seem a teeny bit poser-y and self-important, but it's only because I really, really want you to see my play. Like, REALLY. Freud would say that this desire for attention stems from not having my basic needs met as a child. Hmm. Come to think of it, I am still waiting on that red double sided jam box with the detachable speakers... :) ** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AWARD WINNING PLAYWRIGHT/SCREENWRITER KAY POIRO’S “POUND OF FLESH” TO DEBUT AT J.E.T.
