I love Sarah Kane. She’s an inspiration and a beacon for how deep, how far you’re willing to go with your art. I also love this:

Black Ark Studio, Kingston Jamaica 1977, Lee Scratch Perry, Roast Fish And Cornbread, Trench Town, Upsetters, 45 RPM Vinyl Record, Urban, Third World.

Good character study. Chameleon owl. Attack and defend, attack and defend. Once you learn how to attack and defend you’ll go straight to the top!

Dan Deacon & Liam Lynch – Drinking Out of Cups. Great monologue.

“Nicky Silver’s absurdist 1993 tragicomedy deftly sketches the disintegration of Philadelphia’s Duncan family, an elite clan hobbled by extremely bad judgment, narcissism, and emotional deafness the way the dinosaurs were hobbled by a dust-filled atmosphere….Andrew Tribolini seems so effortlessly creepy you wonder whether he’s even going for creepy.” — Seattle Weekly, April 28, 2010 review

Says Nick DeSimone: We are very excited to be performing the play again and would love for you to see our work.  It’s a competition, so your support would be much appreciated.  Running time is 1 hour and 10 minutes.  We think this is going to sell out, so get your tickets sooner than later.  Equity members get in free, providing there is space.
