Playwrights on Their Plays

Good theatre, as is often said, is like a “slice of life.” A play captures compelling and often uncomfortable elements of the human existence — and as more and more traditionally (and still) marginalized voices burst into the national conversation and more formerly taboo subjects become open to ...

Booking It: Welcome to Night Vale

My Case for Affirmative Action

To the generally privileged, poverty is incomprehensible. People of privilege, with pale skin and/or free vacations and/or “intellectual conversation” — which is almost always defined by conformity to the standard of the privileged class — cannot understand how central poverty, or social disadvantage, ...

Conservatism Today

Politics today seems to be more about shouting insults than offering solutions. Fox, MSNBC, Donald Trump, all seem to be more interested in ratings than the issues faced by every day Americans. At this point, we are all numb to it. For years we have looked at politics in terms of red and blue and have ...

Dear Katrina, As always, the willingness to put pen to paper, with a signature, and publish it in a public forum is important and admirable.

If We Vote Bernie, We Have to Own It

I came very close to passing up Bernie’s big dreams for the sake of rationality last week. But in the end, I sent in my ballot for the Vermont primary with a vote for Bernie, thanks to my naive faith in America’s most unreliable electorate (I’m not kidding). Like many millennials, I initially ...
