John Byrne Barry, winner of the 2015 BAIPA Best Book Award, has written a murder mystery play that’s opening this weekend in Mill Valley.
It’s called Publish or Perish: Tam Valley Mystery Writers’ Retreat Murder Mystery, It might be fun for you to read my interview with John about the show for the six MarinScope weeklies. And then go. Here’s the clip from the Mill Valley Herald, where I write regular theater reviews.
The show runs March 10, 11, 17, and 18 at the Tamalpais Valley Community Center. Call (415) 388-6393. More info at tscd.us. Dinner starts at 6:30; the show at 7:30. Both Saturday shows are sold out, but there are still tickets ($30) for Fridays (March 10 and 17).
Here are some photos from the dress rehearsal by Barry Wasserman.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
