“The Conveniences of Modern Living” opened last Tuesday- and we’ve gotten some really great reviews out of it. Below is a little sampling of them. We’ve done 3 of our 4 shows, with the final show coming up this Saturday at Noon. I can’t believe it’s all about to be over- but it is! It’s [...]
The third in our series of videos is Jessica Love, who is playing The Dryer:

As promised, here’s the second in the series of cast interviews for “The Conveniences of Modern Living” in the NY Fringe:

It’s finally here.
After four years, two workshops, so many drafts its not even funny- “The Conveniences of Modern Living” is opening in the NY International Fringe Festival next Tuesday. We had our tech rehearsal Sunday (you only get one), and things are looking like they’re really coming together.

This is a play I’ve been working on for a very, very long time (about four year now, incredibly)- and in the final version of the play, the director [...]
So the reason I haven’t been posting since I vanquished the universe in the #operaplot competition is that things are heating up for this here doofy playwright:
First of all, tomorrow I’m heading to Israel tomorrow as part of Birthright! I’ll be spending 10 days exploring my heritage, and desperately keeping my old Jewish man impression [...]
So…the latest episode of Monster Literature, “The Secret Garden…OF MONSTERS!” closed mid-April, and I have to say I was really happy with how it turned out. I heard from many folks- and small children- that it was their favorite so far. Every show the team gets tighter, and more efficient and the shows get bigger [...]

The next episode of Monster Literature is heading into tech tonight, and this can only mean one thing-
