Thread Count was first heard in public when given as a reading for Dramatists Guild Friday Night Footlights at the Academy for New Musical Theatre in North Hollywood, California, on May 25, 2007. Jeff Charlton played Fergus, Susan C. Hunter played Dot, and Phillip Sanchez played Tiny. On this same day, the playwright’s mentor and beloved teacher, Charles Nelson Reilly, passed away. Soland would like to dedicate this publication to him.
