by Jonathan Lekstutis contributing zvriter Actl Setting: The lobby of a New York City theatre. A gangly 17 year-old stands surrounded by Pulitzer Prize- winning authors. A performance of his play "Live from the Edge of Oblivion," featured in a Young Playwright's Festival, has just ended. As the playwright begins shifting nervously on his feet, he catches the sight of a distin- guished producer. He recognizes the man as George Wolfe, the producer of Shakespeare in the Park and "Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk." With a wave of the hand, Wolfe summons for the young playwright to come over to him. The two clasp hands and the older gentleman offers the younger man a simple piece of advice: "keep writing," he says. The two disengage hands, and the older man strides back in to the gaggle of bodies. Standing alone again, the young play- wright from Yorktown, Va., looks at his palm — he discovers Wolfe has handed him an amulet.
Act 2 Setting: Backstage at Latimer- Shaeffer Theatre. A 22 year-old playwright sits with a reporter. Senior Jerome Hairston fondly remembers his meeting with Wolfe four years ago at the Play MELISSA PALI.ADINO/temV(rphclo^rapher House Theatre in New York City.
