Theresa Rebeck author of Three Girls and Their Brother: A Novel

Hosted by: Marsha Norman, Pulitzer Prize Winning Playwright

In her highly anticipated first novel, award-winning playwright Theresa Rebeck satirizes the publicity-driven world of instant celebrity. Rebeck will discuss her plays, including the Broadway hit Mauritius, and talk about the transition from playwriting to books.

Theresa Rebeck’s plays include ‘Bad Dates’, ‘Omnium Gatherum’ (a Pulitzer finalist), ‘The Scene’, and ‘Mauritius’, which won Boston’s prestigious IRNE and Elliot Norton Award and premiered on Broadway in 2007.

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Jollyship the Whiz Bang at Ars Nova. Nick Jones is in the Ars Nova playgroup so I've known him for a while but this is the first time I saw him perform. He's a freaking rockstar. I had a great time at the show. If you want to see a funny irreverent pirate puppet musical, I would highly recommend this one.

listen to songs here: http://www.myspace.com/jollyshipthewhizbang

It doesn't have the Party Island song though which is pretty freaking great.

(update--you can her Party Island at the Ars Nova site if you click on the poster for Jollyship.)

My favorite song is also not there. In it, the Captain wishes that he wasn't so prone to violence, but it's partially the fault of violence for being so funny. There was a line about Punch and Judy being his only role models-or something like that which I found incredibly hilarious and which I hear was an ad libbed lyric. I hope he keeps it in the show.

question

what is the popular online shoot em up game with teams etc?

Is that Doom? Halo? What game is that?
