LOVE AND COMMUNICATION

by James Christy

James is thrilled to be a part of the YES Festival. His first full-length play Never Tell has been produced in New York, Los Angeles and Florida and was published by Playscripts Inc in April 2007. His play Put Them Away was read at Access Theater in October, 2008 with a cast led by Tony-winner Cady Huffman and directed by Hal Brooks. James' short play Creep won the Actors Theater of Louisville's Heideman Award for best short play, and was published in anthologies by Samuel French and Smith and Kraus. He has since been a finalist for the Heideman four times, including in 2008 for The Ride. James received a BA in English at Villanova University, where his father was a professor of theatre.

This play is dedicated to James's son Jimmy.
