Some interesting things happening here. I think it's great that the Rattlestick is going to take on such an ambitious project on a playwright so young.
Article all about it here.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

She's an interesting playwright. Lots of raw talent, which has produced varying results. I've seen several of these plays in previous productions--I'm planning to see them all to see what kind of changes have been made and how they all work together.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Has anybody checked out any of these plays yet? Seems interesting, and like a good alternative plan for this rainy day. Would love to hear thoughts.

For $35 I got a student pass, which comes to $7 a play, and this is probably the best non-papering deal I've ever seen. I've picked out the dates to see each of the five plays and I'm very excited.

I saw Scarcity this Saturday and was completely amazed and pleased with what I saw. The set was unbelievably detailed and realistic. The performances, including a prepubescent girl were all touching and thrilling to watch.

The premise reminded me a tad of Matilda, but the story was complicated, tense, and very immersing.
I'm really looking forward to the four other plays, though I definitely feel like what I saw stands well on it's own.
