A Love Letter to Ellen McLaughlin May 19, 2012
by Katie W
First, you have to understand that last weekend I got to play bocce ball with Ellen McLaughlin. And that our team won. It was an informal gathering for the annual Hedgebrook Women Playwrights Festival, of which she is a two-time alum. I was completely theatre geeking out.
The Gurs Zyklus May 18, 2012
by Julia
The order to execute Garcia Lorca is given by Morse code says the balding man in the white shirt with the commanding, operatic stage presence (director, writer and performer, Rinde Eckert).

somewhere, in the midst of a sum, some parts. May 4, 2012
by Caitlin S
A woman enters the room, holding a pepper and begins to eat. The act exists somewhere between consuming and being consumed. A pair of eyes invite me in. Juice comes as a drip, a dribble, a stream; consecrating chin, shirt, skirt, floor, space.
It is impossibly red.
