- 25 Years of Messenger Theatre Company
As my theatre company approaches its 25th birthday, I’ve been struggling with how to celebrate it. I have it on goodauthority that a 25th anniversary is a golden opportunity to have a gala, to throw a fundraising extravaganza and generally make a large to-do.

29 min - Hang the DJ
It was Gen X dance night & the DJ was spinning the hits that made the crowd go crazy. But he was younger than us & it was clear he didn't have a sense of what we were responding to. He did not really know these songs. He played little bits of them without getting to the good part. He did not know there was a good part.

14 min - The Most Ridiculous Rejection Thus Far
I have seen many different styles of rejection for a wide variety of opportunities but I think I have finally seen the most ridiculous one ever. If there were awards for the most outrageous, most insulting, most infuriating, I think this one would sweep the rejection awards.

18 min - A Month in a Cottage Won't Do It
Someone in the migraine subreddit made a post about curing herself of migraines by spending a month in a cottage by herself.
This kind of post usually generates a wide split of responses. There are those have the flavor of that meme of the school picture of the little boy frowning, with “Happy for you” written over it.

20 min - When the Wind Is With You
The high of having won the award in Los Angeles began to wear off after a few weeks. I was honestly surprised it lasted that long! Most highs I’ve experienced before were a fewdays max. The chief advantage of this extended high was that it gave me a lot of energy for things that normally feel like a chore.

15 min - Circumspection Around My Work
Depending on the circumstances, I can tend to be fairly circumspect in talking about my work. The Dragoning, for example, can be fairly challenging for men. I’ve had men tell me that they tried to listen but they just couldn’t hack it. Many women find this hilarious. I have found it prudent to choose my audiences carefully.

11 min - The Dabbler Economy
those resources, opportunities and such are not actuallyfor people like me and my friends. They’re not supports for underfunded, life-long artists, they are for dabblers, for aspiring artists, for the banker who has always wanted to write a novel. These are structures designed to extract money from moneyed individuals who want to give art a try.

18 min - The Stink and The Sparkle
Because of our big win in LA, I recently bid goodbye to something that I’d had with me for a while. It’s something I never wanted. No one ever wants it but sometimes itjust shows up and it’s hard to get rid of once it does. No one will ever mention its presence but most people know it’s there when you’ve got the Stink.

15 min - Like a Dog on a Roof
At some point, I just said “You guys are special ed. Does anyone ever give you a hard time about that?” And they conceded that they did. We made list of feelings about those experiences and one student said, “Sometimes I get so mad, I feel like a dog on a roof!”
