In this episode of Present Process, Daniel talks with A.J. Ditty about his play The Bøyg.

The goal of Present Process is two fold: first, to highlight great plays from lesser known playwrights and elevate them as much as we can; and second, to demystify the process of writing a great play and increase the shared knowledge of playwriting. A.J. Ditty is an actor/writer/slash-mark enthusiast currently living in Brooklyn. His first full-length play, How the Great Grapefruit Danced in the Moonlight, was staged in a workshop production at the Lee Strasberg Institute of Theatre and Film in spring 2010 and again in the fall of 2010, making it the only original student work to be revived in the history of the Institute. His other plays include Heart of Duckness (Pipeline Theatre Company's Bonfire Series); Munichtown; B.B.'s Inferno (#serials@theflea/The PIT); Eloise Parker Goes to the Moon (Crashbox Theater’s “Read. Play. Write. V.”); Rubiella: A Ghost Story; Deaf, Dumb, and Blind; "Magellanica" (Access Theater); A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dragon (#serials@theflea); "RIP" (The Secret Theater); “Heartbreak; or, Why Sara Bareilles’ ‘King of Anything’ is the Greatest Song in the History of Goddamn Time” and “The Chicken-Man; or, A Supposedly Fun Thing I Did for Six Months” (Undiscovered Countries Festival); “Arthur Miller is Trapped in a Tiny Box”; “Bad Company” (Brandspankin' Festival, NYU); and “U-Turn” which received a reading at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2009. He is a proud member of Pipeline Playlab’s Class of 2017 and an alumnus of Writers Work Class 2016.
