Art (Theater): American Fiesta


I saw Steven Tomlinson's monologue American Fiesta twice last summer - I loved it. He is reprising it this summer for a two week run and the Statesman has an article about it. I like the fact that they included an image of his notebook - so you can see his work process.

Art: Making art is tyrannical

A good article by Roberta Smith from last week's NY Times about art museums in Basel - In Basel, Contemporary Art Enjoys a Bounty of Friends

"...the very drive to make art is at heart tyrannical; it wills into existence something that no one else can imagine or imagine needing. We are often blessed by these impositions, and equally blessed by the people who figure out how best to conserve and display them."

Quote: Kind vs. True

Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true. -Robert Brault, software developer, writer (1938- )

Art (Theater): Intergalactic Nemesis website!

The new Intergalactic Nemesis website is up. WOW! Blog entries by Molly, Tim and Jean Pierre. And a weekly comic. I love it! All this is leading up to a New York Broadway opening this spring (we are keeping our fingers crossed).
