Amy Lee Lavoie graduated from the National Theatre School playwriting section in 2009. Her play, Rabbit Rabbit was a runner up in the 2008 Write-On-Q! playwriting competition. I loved it. A gutsy and politically incorrect take on a relationship of a clown, who performed for children’s birthday parties, with the sex-worker he hires to fulfill his fantasies. Disturbing but also affecting. Howard Rosenstein nailed the character. A stunning performance that also left one a bit queasy. The Gazette reviewer was outraged. (See the letter to the Gazette in response.) Amy Lee has since gone on to be an award-winning writer for both television and theatre. As fate would have it, Rabbit Rabbit was produced in the same season as GAS, which starred Omari Newton. They crossed paths during the two productions and Amy Lee and Omari ended up hooking up, eventually getting married. Now they are even co-writing plays together.
