"I wrote another play for Broadway that just got optioned called Human that will be coming to Broadway in probably about a year," said Palimteri to shokya.com. "I’m very excited about that. I play five characters. I wrote it for myself as a play, because I wanted to do Broadway again. And so then I wrote the script for the film version, and we’ll be working on that too."
