Intersection Launches
1/31/12

The first episode of Intersection premieres on Blip at 7pm today! The second episode will be released at 7pm tomorrow! Inersection is an original webseries that follows two groups of friends as they discover that sometimes "making it" in the big city is more like making it through.

Green Sound Reading
1/28/12

Come see me in a staged reading of John Patrick Bray's Green Sound as part of Adaptive Arts "Autism Initiative" reading series. It's an endearing "OCD meets Phenomenologist" love story - the kind that makes you go "Awww"...and then check 3 times to make sure you've still got your keys. Plus, proceeds help fund Adaptive's educational outreach program for schools in New York who serve children with Autism.

The New CottonWright.com
3/6/11

Thanks so much for stopping by. This is the newly redesigned cottonwright.com. If you find a link that doesn't work or a document that won't download, please let me know - it's entirely possible that I've miscoded something.

Special thanks to Jason Paradine, Manuel Hernandez, Scott Eichengrun, Tiziana Haug and Wolff Olins. Without their help, support and patience I would still be telling everyone that I was "in the process of redesigning my website."
