Theatre
Michael Bettencourt
Outrageous Fortune
I have been making my way through Outrageous Fortune: The Life and Times of the New American Play. On April 15, Tax Day, I received notice that my play, Ain't Ethiopia, a semi-finalist at the O'Neill, would not become a finalist. The two are not unrelated.

Theatre and Film
Arthur Meiselman
First Things Last
The reason I collect these works of art and non-art is because they are part of my time continuum. They exist with me in the present, spread out in all space/time directions, and they are my friends.

Theatre
Nathan Thomas
Sleeper Awake
So I sit in the dark, and I watch, and I start to think. I start to think, "Maybe we could do this show. Maybe we could do that kind of project." And instantly I'm back in the game.

Peformance
Les Marcott
Apologist for the Unapologetic
If there is anyone who epitomizes my no apologies credo, who would it be? Who would be my poster boy? Probably none other than larger than life and perennial hell raiser
Jerry Lee Lewis.

Theatre
Martin Challis
Theatre - The Shared Experience
Is this audacious to call it great theatre: to compare events on the sporting field to scripted masterpieces of our time?

	FICTION The serialization of a new novel by Martin Challis Chapter Twelve - Belonging She too was in turmoil. She wanted to touch him; feel his skin; hold him against her. She wanted him to want that, but she had no way to express this to him. This was not who they were to each other.

Absalom / David / Absalom
a monologue
"Everything is simple to begin with. You wake up. It is the first of April or it is the first of June. The sun is shining. The day stands waiting for you.So you get out of bed. You yawn. You stretch your arms, you stretch your legs. You rub your eyes. You scratch your balls. You move towards the open window. Then what do you do?"

A Play by
Martin Burke
