A Way Forward
For those of you wondering: is this going to be a personal blog now? Here’s the answer: No, note entirely. But also yes. Yes and. In order to write about writing, theater, and the arts in general, I need to show where I’ve come from. The past couple years of my life have drastically changed meContinue reading “A Way Forward”
I Won’t Go Down With This Ship: Or, What Happens Next
In a transition between my last bomb-drop of a post and whatever is to come, I’ve penned this letter to myself as a retrospective look back and recognize how far I’ve come. There will be more about theater and writing soon, but for now, this is what I have for you. Dear 2018 me, Hi.Continue reading “I Won’t Go Down With This Ship: Or, What Happens Next”

Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.
“This play should not be well behaved,” Alice Birch writes in the notes for her play Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. One of the most powerful things about Birch’s play is the language and form and how it misbehaves – it violates the expectations for how a play looks on the page and how it’sContinue reading “Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.”
Juliet: a poem
I’ve decided to play around with content out here and start including writing that’s not limited to reviews or thoughts on shows. As I’m working on the Guthrie’s upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet as the literary intern, I’ve been thinking a lot about this play. It used to be one of my least favorite,Continue reading “Juliet: a poem”
The Awakening
I’ve been trying to find the words to describe Savage Umbrella’s The Awakening, playing now at the Southern. And I have to admit that I’m more or less lost for words. This isn’t a new phenomena for me recently – more and more I’m finding it hard to discuss shows I’ve seen in an reviewContinue reading “The Awakening”
