3 Hole field trip to see Is God Is (5/14) in NYC!
& other good news
It’s been a minute since we’ve written. As many of you know, we’ve been in publishing hibernation. But there’s so much exciting news on the horizon that we need to shout it out, right now, from the rooftops:
Is God Is, by Aleshea Harris, the book that inspired us to start our press, will be released as a major motion picture this week!!!
There is no amount of exclamation marks that can express what a victory this is for the wider cultural audience; many souls are about to be taken for a gripping and transformative ride. A huge congratulations to Aleshea Harris on releasing and directing the film. To celebrate, we are planning a 3 Hole Press field trip to see the film on May 14 (yes, as in three days from now)! Come join us at 4:10p in Union Square. We’d love to hold hands together or, if it’s more your speed, say hello. 🌹
Also, another huge congratulations to Aleshea on her recent Doris Duke Award. Seeing Aleshea and five other artists recognized this way, you do feel like things are right in one corner of the world.
Nazareth Hassan, winner of our 2022 open call for Untitled (1–5), is a finalist for the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in Drama!
Again, something is right in this world! There was so much joy around Nazareth’s productions of Bowl EP and Practice last year. Since then, the momentum hasn’t and we know isn’t going to stop.
Experimental drama publishers create a festival of plays!
3 Hole Press director, Rachel Kauder Nalebuff, along with 53rd State Press director, Kate Kremer, and friend of the presses/ “clown-everyperson-diva” Lisa Clair are joining together to produce a festival of each other’s plays at the Collapsable Hole. Drawing from the model of peer support they practice in print and the legacy of 13P, they are takin’ it to the stage. They just launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring their festival - kUnST fEsT - to life. Support this sweet horizontal model of making plays (and the people who support plays) here!
That’s it for now. See you at the movies!
