Joshua Kors article

Have you seen this? "Town is not alone. A six-month investigation has uncovered multiple cases in which soldiers wounded in Iraq are suspiciously diagnosed as having a personality disorder, then prevented from collecting benefits. The conditions of their discharge have infuriated many in the military community, including the injured soldiers and their families, veterans' rights groups, even military officials required to process these dismissals." "They say the military is purposely misdiagnosing soldiers like Town and that it's doing so for one reason: to cheat them out of a lifetime of disability and medical benefits, thereby saving billions in expenses."

How Theater . . .

I saw Daisey's How Theater Failed America last night. It's pretty great. I had seen it at under the radar originally and Daisey and Gregory sharpened it a bunch, trimmed the fat, added some arguments. It's playing at Joe's Pub for another week and then extending for a 6 week run at the barrow street theater. Get your tickets now. They are also setting up a weekly discussion after the show with panelists from all segments of theater. ADs and Stage managers and Actors, etc. Should be pretty great. I wish them luck.

I'm going here tonight

http://fluxtheatreensemble.blogspot.com/2008/04/imagination-compact.html hope to see you there.

Instead of fleshing out my pilot ideas, what have I been doing? Reading Jonathan Lethem's As She Climbed Across The Table. Making a list of funny/quirky/angst-ridden slogans that would look good on t-shirts and then trying and failing to make them into jpegs that could actualy go on T shirts. doing work at the day job. eating lots of cookies. heading to Ars Nova Play Group tonight.
