For the record, I sent BLACK BLOOD to the Permian Playhouse on
12/5/87. Quite fucking whining about it, Mike.
Well Matt, let me say that I'm not mad at you. It puzzles me why
I'm not, since it would have been real convenient for me to be against
you. Maybe because this meant so much, I realized I had to be serious
in this argument. I want you to know that one of the main things that
kept me from convincing Mike of something we may all regret is that
when I think of the group, I think of three. You must be that third
person, Matt, since I haven't heard from Andy for a long time. I
don't know, Matt, but you are a part.
I do remember one thing, and I think it would be helpful if I told
it. I remember when we were wandering around the state fair one year,
round and round the midway. I think I asked you if you thought I should
be a writer. You said to the effect that you thought I would be making
a serious mistake if I decided not to write. For some reason that has
stuck with me all these years.
Let me say that I think you would be making a serious mistake if
you decided not to be a writer. Mike and I have real belief in you.
Unfortunately, our belief cannot be fuel for your passion. You have
to believe in yourself. It's hard to decide when everyone expects
you to do things, but let me tell you that from experience I have
found that noone wants the best for you. Your parents may believe
they want the best for you, but they're not you. What they think is
best is only best for themselves. I've also found that it is impossible
to please anyone but yourself. I wish it weren't so. I wish I could
please my relatives. I wish I could please Mike. I wish I could
please myself too. I really do. Life would be so much easier.
You're the only one who can know what you want out of life. At
the end of mine, I envision hell as being regret; a place where those
who didn't try realize the chance they've missed. I'm not trying to
lay a guilt trip on you. That's exactly contrary to what I'm saying.
All I'm trying to say is search yourself. Ignore what I want, what
Mike wants, what everyone wants. Try to get in touch with your own
feelings, your own aspirations. Then figure out the shortest distance
to get there. Realistically. If it involves Mike and me, that's fine.
If it doesn't, that's fine too.
Also, I know that your moving and new marriage has hit you hard.
I've never been married, but I have been where I've felt forced
into grown up situations while still feeling thirteen. Mike cannot
be sympathetic now, since he has to reserve all his strength for
himself. If I've been callous, however, let me say that I'm sorry.
I know you've needed support in these last few months, and maybe
I should have given more. I have the dubious honor of being able to
feel sorry for both you and Mike.
Getting in touch with your feelings can be the most unpleasant
experience. I know, considering that Spock is my idol. Death can come
at any time, though, and you have to get what you want while you can.
I find you real frustrating, Matt, because you are so different
from Mike and me. It's not that you are bad, and that we are good, or
right and wrong. But I do think that we are different. I wish I
knew you better, but when we talk on the phone, I feel we only
exchange the superficial cordialities. Again, it's nobody's fault.
We're just different.
WAKE UP MIKE. I just wanted to say that I appreciate your oath
of fealty to our friendship. I know that I can be honest, and not lose
the friendship. I honestly cannot say that about anything else in my
life. You're close to this Matt, and not many people have been in this
position in my life, but again, you are an somewhat of an enigma
to me. Shit, one of these days we'll have to write a play about
our friendship. If we could be honest, I think it would be our greatest
work.
You're both a couple of big fucking sucks.

I have 35 submissions this month. If this doesn't scare you Matt, I
don't know what will. In one month, Mike and I have taken up the
slack of losing your submissions even in your best month. I know
you are probably sick to death of hearing of the inequities of the
group, but I didn't get the feeling from talking to you that your
attitude has changed at all. Plus the fact that I've had to hold my
tongue for the last month for fear of destroying this "cooperative."
This group will be equal, otherwise I want no part in it. You are
planning to make your triumphal return with a summer play project.
When I talk to you on the phone, the first thing you do is threaten
to steal an idea I found (the bomb shelter idea) for this project.
You just don't get it, do you? What kind of equality is this? To
tell you the truth, I'm afraid to tell you ideas. I wrest control
and recognition from you because I'm afraid if I give you any slack,
you'll simply claim it all to be your own. I don't have this fear
with Mike. There's no point in building a house together and then
claiming a brick to be your own.
I don't know what it is, Matt. I really don't. I can feel congenial
and loving towards you for a month, then a single phone call or
letter can completely overturn this. Why is our relationship this
way? I know you felt hurt that I haven't provided a copy of the
resume to you, but what was the point? I recall bitterly talking
to Mike when he received the box of one acts you sent him. I copied
those, A FUCKING YEAR AGO. How can you in good conscience sit on
an unopened box of plays for a year, and then claim month after
month that you are unable to make your minimums? Especially when
three envelopes each containing three one acts would have pretty
much made your minimum. That's less than a book of stamps. A
year? There's no excuse for that. It's not just that you didn't
send in December.
One last point, and then I'll get off your back. You kept claiming
you needed addresses for Stigmata because you were running out,
running out. I went back through your statements and recorded the
places to which you sent this play. You sent to less than a third
of the addresses I sent you! I was avoiding these places because
I thought you had them covered. I was running out of addresses
because of sheer numbers, and you afforded to toss out the places
I sent you. Don't you see how this hurts us? We don't know what places
will produce our work. We can't afford to miss a place. I looked
up the listings for the places which have at least come close to
producing our stuff:
PERMIAN PLAYHOUSE: "Full-lengths, Musicals, Comedies."
THEATRE RAPPORT: "gutsy, relevant plays"
IRONBOUND: "Full-lengths, one-acts, musicals."
(I can't find a listing for Florida Theatre Connection because Mike
got this address out of the Globe)
Now let's look at theatres which (mostly) hate out guts:
MANHATTAN PUNCH LINE: "Comedies only."
DENVER CENTER: "full-lengths, one-acts, translations, adaptions,
children's black, social-political, musicals, cabarets, revues."
STEPHEN GRAHAM: "weird, funny, innovative."
Do you see any pattern? Neither do I. All I know is I wouldn't have
sent a play to Ironbound, or to Permian Playhouse based on their
listings. I almost didn't send one to Theatre Rapport. In my books
I have them crossed out. When I ran out of addresses, I sent to
them on a whim. The point is, we have to send to everybody we can.
At least until people start coming to us. That's why, even though
I seem to be the lone supporter of sending out mass resumes, I know
that someone might request a play, and like it. A hundred resumes
is worth that to me. Mass submissions works. I wish we could send
one play out, and get one production, but that would be denying the
truth. We can't just not mass submit because it's hard. I know it's
hard. I've gone into debt knowing how hard it is while you have
carefully chosen the one theatre which, if sent one play, will produce
it. The Manhattan Punch Line. They fucking hate us.
I know it must seem like I'm trying to keep you out of the group, but
I'm not. I swear. I just want a full partner. You're welcome to come
back anytime as we agreed, but think before you do. If you can't
give as much to the group as Mike and I do, then bow out gracefully.
I'm not going to let up if I can help it, but if I do, I'll quit.
And believe me, I've considered it. There is no more slack to give.
If you come back with only your foot in the door, you'll wreck this
group forever.

So we have a finalist in a Cincinatti theatre. Get those charge
cards out and max-ed. You should feel proud, Matt, and I'm not
being sarcastic. It seems a bit distant, but it is ours. BELIEVE
IT OR NOT, THIS PLAY WAS SUBMITTED ON 2/1/89. THIS IS OUR FUCKING
FASTEST RESPONSE. I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M WRITING IN CAPITOL LETTERS,
BUT I WANTED YOUR ATTENTION.
All right, Matt. It's ok. I know we've had our differences, but I
don't want to have to put your face on milk cartons to get you home.
I just wanted to list my grievances, and I couldn't do that while
Spike was mad. Even I don't think two against one is fair. And you
all know how fair-minded I am.
Your idea has a lot of merit, Matt. It's not yet compelling enough
for a full-length, but that's probably just a matter of time.

I received STIGMATA back from Alvita Martin at Kalamazoo. There was NO
return envelope. Are you including SASE's with your plays, Matt? This is
part of your ten submissions/month, you know.
Well, I'm out of writing commission for this month. We finished a dmaned
fine play this month, Mike. I feel this one is worth submitting. I'll
submit it heavily, as usual.
Gee Matt. I don't know why you're always so damned sensitive. I've
hesitated calling you because I get the feeling that you might explode
at any minute. What's wrong? You can talk to me.

Not a bad submission month, considering. I was boosted by the review of
STIGMATA in the Script Review. I assume you boys have read it by now. I
sent MOBIUS to them for obvious reasons. Hopefully, now we can look
forward to dozens of requests.
MATT-- I'm sorry you're running out of addresses for STIG. I can't help
much, unfortunately, as I gave you all the addresses I could find. We've
almost covered the market with that play. Your options:
1. I could send you UK addresses. Please don't submit here without
checking with me first. No use double subbing as expensive it is here.
2. You could get addresses from SPIKE as he gets the from the GLOBE.
3. If I do happen to get requests for Stig due to the review, I will
split them with you. As you notice, I send you extra copies every once
in a while, so I could do the same with these. I wouldn't count on these
too much, though. I don't know what type of circulation the Script
Review has.
It was good to see you boys, and thanks for the breathing room.
