So, in between the throes of fever and the sound of rain today I was forwarded the obituary of Ronald Tavel, the founder of first what he called the Playhouse of the Ridiculous which eventually, of course, led to the Theater of the Ridiculous. What a wonderful, egotistical thought that somehow we might be able to do something similar, perhaps encourage A Theater of the Democratic or a Theater of the Anarchic, I'm not sure quite yet, but just think of all those birds flying out, perhaps we can migrate and create A Theater of the Tropics. The possibilities are both patently wonderful and, of course, ridiculous.
Anyway, you may have noticed a new voice on the page. Currently Nate is locked up in a room coming up with suitably englightening, awesomely brilliant sign off lines, but in the future (and the present) he'll be here with us.
Another thing we've been discussing is the possibility of staged or unstaged full length readings for some of our playwrighting friends. Most of what we're committed to performing and premiering is collections of shorter works, but there is certainly a place for this kind of thing as well. If this is something that interests you, let us know and we'd be happy to work with you in making it happen.
Mahalo,
