TMT: What drew you to Act III of The Iceman Cometh? What makes it stand out from the other acts. Katie Rose McLaughlin: Initially I was totally uninterested in Act III. In a play about drinking, almost no one had a drink! BO-RING. Do the party, I thought. But the more I looked at what […]

A musing by Ann Marie Dorr & Moe Yousuf –A bar joke is a very common and basic type of joke. A man walks into a bar and… –Something happens. –The initial perception of the joke is that a man is walking into a bar to have a drink. But this only lasts a few […]

I wrote a play that suspends actors from the ceiling. There’s a reason for it, beyond being really cool, I promise. The metaphor is a tad obvious. We are youth…trapped…screaming to be heard…to be relevant. Initially I just saw them floating. Then Carolyn Mraz (another TMT Associated Artist) suggested a net over the audience because […]

Above all, the people are haunted. Lavinia, Orin, […]

Written by Tanisha Christie Having the chance to just to be in a room with other artists from disparate disciplines, at different stages of their career was priceless.

For example, if you were to walk by certain elevator banks in certain oldish, tallish […]

Here are a few things about Gertrude Stein. These are things I like, things that excite my lively interest, things that have motivated me in working on Reread Another. One is this: where does it begin? It seems to begin again and again, and there is always a way in which it seems to have already begun. […]
