I’ve been working on this show since 2021 and am very excited for you all to see it (proof of my continued brief existence in this brutal, beautiful world).

I found a poem on a side bar of the Yelp review page for a Silver Lake pre-school. Line breaks are almost all happy accidents.

This school has a bird in captivity.
I walk by on the weekends. The room is dark,
the bird is alone. Wings clipper, by whom?
Sad.
When I look in its eyes, it bangs its beak
against the cage, as if pleading for release.
What is the point of teaching young children
to keep birds in captivity?

This was the edition of “Lolita” I read as a 16-year-old, and not gonna lie, it totally colored my initial reading experience.

Vintage paperback cover of Lolita, with a single blurb from Vanity Fair: “The only convincing love story of our century.”

WGA authors marching for a fair contract on a hot day. I’m sure I speak for many of us when I say I will happily abstain from writing for as long as necessary.
