Copy Rights and EpubsIt is more important to me to have my plays produced than it is to make money off them.Michael BettencourtFrom Rome to Bangkok Italian StyleOnly the Italians can do it... stage a glittering film festival in a sweltering, gridlocked city, in a mall (of all places) and do it with class, and style and even some dolce vita. It's called: Moviemov. Arthur MeiselmanSavingsThe irritation that I experience is that particularly one political party seems enthralled by only one notion – give more money to the truly rich, and everything will get better.Nathan ThomasThe Last Gladiator in the New RomeEvel Knievel has been called many things, but the word "artist" is a term not usually ascribed to him. Back in 2008, I went way out on a limb and wrote as much. Broadening the definition of art itself, I proclaimed Evel Knievel an artist.Les MarcottWho Are YouSomething goes 'boom' inside youyou are that thingno effort on your part transmission gratisClaudine Jones

Into the Light
This play deals with the fascinating and enigmatic story of Edith Stein, a Jewish girl who became a respected "existential" scholar, assistant to the philosopher Husserl, and made the incredible journey into Catholicism and one of its most demanding disciplines, The Carmel. Caught up in the horror of the Holocaust, she was murdered at Auschwitz. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II which inspired an array of controversy that lingers today.
