I think of him as a modern-day Virgil, if Virgil was homeless in New York.

These Healeys are what Ezra Pound would have called a "darned clever bunch." You may or may not be able to follow this link to a September 17 New York Times article about Cruel Puppet Collective, which is building a Dante Inferno from real-life stories of New York City Public Transit.

I have no idea what this blurb means

Matthew Maher with the company of 13P's production of Have You Seen Steve Steven.

"ORANGE, HAT & GRACE is a funny, fierce and provocative inquiry into our relationship with the natural world."

Unproducibility, Brothels, and Pirates

Studio 42's Unproducible! series is mounting "such plays are those in which the cast size, subject matter, potential depravity, complexity of staging, or scale of spectacle take them out of consideration for most other companies." As part of their mission, they are mounting these plays for one night only.

I'm not sure I understand this model, in terms of the work and the artists having the opportunity to grow, but I'm curious. And for those familiar with the long-running pirate puppet rock musical serial Jollyship the Whiz-Bang, all that needs to be said to recommend Studio 42's This Sporting Life is that one of the writers is Nick Jones. (Also, the fabulous Greg Keller is in it.) See it September 10.

P.S. Free beer.
