dreaming of a theatre movement

http://www.avltheatre.com/forte/2007/06/every_city_could_have_a_dead_c_1.html and the challenge A CHALLENGE, AN OFFER Let me close with this ... I run a very cool, small professional theatre company in the Heartland (Columbus, Ohio). We're in the process of figuring out the next year of work (guess whose play I'm angling for). I'm reading plays like a fiend right now. (Thanks again to everyone who suggested and sent plays.) I would be willing to try this National Opening (I don't even think the play has to be brand new) thing, even on a smaller scale with 4-8 small theatres. March 2008 would work well for us. If anyone's interested, email me (inbox at avltheatre dot com). I DARE YOU

I hereby convene the International Week of Blog Gibberish

The great thing about having your own blog is that you
can do whatever you want. If you want to write
gibberish for a week, people will click on it and be
like "I don't know. he's writing gibberish." and
maybe they will return and maybe they won't. But you
can do it. The internet is the newest form of
freedom. It's necessary, especially as our freedoms
as a country have been diminishing during the course
of this administration.

And that is what TV still can't get to. You can put
any crazy ass film on you tube or your personal
website and if people don't watch it, it's no big deal
but it could just as easily get a billion hits. But
if it doesn't, there is no one to answer to. There
are no ratings. There is only liberation and complete
freedom to say anything or do anything.

Blog gibberish for freedom!

It's over, but

Jordon Harrison's play at Clubbed Thumb was pretty
great. If you missed it, there is always the hope
Clubbed Thumb or someone else will pick it up again.
In the meantime, perhaps now is a good time to buy tix
for his upcoming show at Playwrights Horizons.

monologue cut from Susan Gets Some Play

Susan. They said she had the face that launched one
hundred thousand battleships to the galaxy Thendore.
Her name was Lieutenant Susan Louise O'Connor and the
first time I saw her I knew why this war had been
raging through the galaxy for a thousand years. You
see, when Kinglores see something beautiful, they have
to have it and when they first saw Susan, anyone could
have predicted that it would tear their race apart and
destroy countless planets, disrupt the universal
balance and kill many a young hotshot fresh-faced from
the Star Hopper Academy for Advanced Life. There was
just no other way it could have played out. Also
there was no way to avoid the fact that I too would
fall under her charms, like it or not, I was hooked.
It was the face she had. The face that tore the
universe apart and had grown men armwrestling and
partaking in fluevogeling contests.
