We’re Not Playing: a play by Jen Huszcza

One of the things I love most about Jen Huszcza is her ability to write so succinctly, and so vibrantly.  Every year Jen sends me a trio of plays written on the festival’s theme, and every year they are uniquely … Continue reading

We’re Not Playing: Two Plays by Jaisey Bates

Jaisey Bates is a beautiful writer, and her words (even in correspondence) feel as though they are floating on the page.  That’s saying something in a time where many, many people have allowed their language to become crudely shaped weapons, … Continue reading
