ARTISTIC STATEMENT
Laughter in the darkness...and a little light at the end of the tunnel. We will get there. Humor, kindness, vision... compassion for the young, the old, and everyone in between. As I near 65 I rejoice in my own rebirth, I want to leave music and laughter and tears and a bit of magic here, for my friends, my audiences --- may we meet somewhere for a glass of good red wine and a good laugh, after the show is over.
SHORT SHORT BIO
Madeline Puccioni is a company member of Towne Street Theatre, L.A., and an active member of P.A.G.E.S NYC., Dramatists Guild, Opera America, National Opera Association and ALAP (Association of Los Angeles Playwrights). Her first full length, TWO O'CLOCK FEEDING, was produced The Magic Theatre in SF in 1980, and published in West Coast Plays IV. Raising a daughter and teaching college English absorbed all her time until she retired in 2014. Since then she's been a member of PlayGround SF and Towne Street Theatre L.A. and has had dozens of short plays produced, and six of those, published in an anthology titled PIERCINGS, by Next Stages Press.
She won a spot in the William Inge Festival in 2018, and has been working on her operetta, FINDING MEDUSA, with Jeff Dunn, composer for the last six years. FINDING MEDUSA has been showcased at the Osher Theatre in Berkeley and workshopped in the Next Stage Musical Theatre program, and was featured at the NOA conference earlier this year, and was a finalist in the EPIPHANIES THEATRE New Plays Festival. Madeline’s new feature screenplay, THE CASSANDRA MURDERS, has won four Best Script Awards via FilmFreeway and her TV Pilot, NOW AND AT THE HOUR has won two Best TV Pilot Awards. . Her short Noir spoof, SAID THE SPIDER TO THE FLY, and her short horror script, SQUEEK! have both won top awards. Her short screenplay, a Civil War adaptation of Euripedes' HECUBA, "CYNTHIA" just became an Award Winner in the Hawaiian International Film Festival Competition.
Madeline is 80 years old, has a nice little pension and great healthcare (for an American), and she plans to live ‘til she’s 101. Like Dominique Morisseau, she believes that “good writers must see themselves in everyone.” She writes from the heart, she writes to the bone and she works seven hours a day. She lives with her sweetheart Monroe and her Chihuahua buddy, Maurice, in Oakland, CA. She's having fun.
