It was once said that you shouldn't send letters. They are a record of your life,a gift that shouldn't be given to others.Odd. Some thread of truth in that.Some thread. Speaking of threads...who found a cool yarn sale ?Speaking of cats...my cat has a friend. They sit and stare and meow. No aggression. No Animal Planet Gone Wild. Just this howling thing. What are they saying ? If you were a cat and had to stare at one other person-cat for the rest of your life which cat-person would you choose ? Wait.Hold the line.My cat has close to NO contact with other cats. That is kinda sad. Not as sad as talking about cat people at eight o'clock on a Saturday night. Well I put myself here. This is a blog break between the scene I just wrote for Moral Garbage, chapter for Unicorn Club and a monologue for Womkey.
What are these things ? Glad you asked.
Moral Garbage is an urban morality tale about a park keeper who has to save all lost souls of the Bronx in the face of Satan while in line blading. Unicorn Club-need a better title- is inspired by years of being the underdog that's all I can say. Womkey. That's the Indian play.
While doing research about the fashion industry,I found an article about Jezebel Jagger and her company. She was babysat by Andy Warhol and goes to India for inspiration. What a great find this article was!!!
Yeah-yeah now I remember. LOLA GOT BITE. This blog now has a picture from the production. Last March it was done at Gene Frankel. My good friend Melissa Fendell directed the production. I was inspired by the pit bulls I saw on the way to work at Marblehill. They were on choke chains and looked like they were ready for battle and breeding. So I did some homework and discovered the world of pit bull fighting. The topic isn't really explored on stage so we went for it...fight scene and all. Old dog turns in her title,wanting the end to a cruel world. Melissa's brain is connected to mine so she just knows what to do with my work. Some people were offended by the work b**** in the script. But hey,they are female dogs. What do you want from me ? Plus one of my students,Julia Rivera did the costumes. They rocked. Glad the photo is now up on this thing. Week of the show was the best week. I was so stoked to be picking up fake blood and knee pads in the West Village. I smile each time I hear "Superstar",first sound cue from the piece. Yeah-people were scared of those pit bull girls! You could sense it. Think that is a lot to handle,fighting dogs ? Try looking at children falling asleep on card board boxes in Kolkata. We live in the United Egg Crate of America. The shell is starting to break.

Yay for Lola Got Bite!
That was such a great show. I had so much fun tackling that script, literally wrestling it to the ground! And I met Katy through that show and she is so amazing.
I can't wait to read what you are cooking up next.
