  • solanasonline

    There’s a really cool interview with Juliana Francis at this webzine called SolanasOnline. (It’s in Issue #3). I’ve never heard of the ‘zine before, but there are interviews with lots of groovy people I’ve known and/or admired over the years, including Michelle Tea, Mike Albo, Claudia Gonson and others. BTW: Interested in running a Culturebot…

  • festivals in your face

    The Times has a quick and snappy overview of some of the non-Fringe festivals happening this month and next, including the HOT!

While it’s great that the festivals are getting column inches, the article’s generalizations just add to the confusion. If the paper…

  • it’s gettin’ hot in here

    I went to the opening shindig for Dixon Place’s 13th annual HOT festival on Tuesday. They’re back at 258 Bowery while they finish the construction on their new building, and it was just like it always was. Well, a little better since the air conditioning seemed to be working pretty well. But there’s still a…

  • you’re hired!

    I’m sure y’all read the NY Times article on Theater > News & Features > The Broadway Producer Baby” href=”http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/04/theater/newsandfeatures/04WEBE.html”>The New York Times > Theater >Arielle Tepper and the Summer Play Festival. It seems kinda like The Apprentice for playwrights. Any suggestions on which ones to actually go see? Any behind-the-scenes gossip? At least its…
