See all my plays in half the time! Well no, not all. But thanks to the vivacious indie theatre company Playful Substance, you'll get to see readings of excerpts from 6 of my recent plays on March 6 at the LuEsther Mertz South Oxford Space in Brooklyn: www.onthestage.tickets/.../698cdb98...

Big thank you to Post-Industrial Productions in Buffalo for their 5-star reading of my play STRAUSS'S HOUSES. Kudos to our wonderful cast: Madeline Allard-Dugan, Trevor Dugan, Danielle Burning, Kaylie Horowitz, Ian Downes, and Sam Hebert, all under the brilliant direction of Clara Tan.

John Lewis didn’t wait for permission to demand change as an activist, or congressman β€” and neither will we.

He taught us that nonviolent direct action is a moral force, and that we must confront injustice wherever it lives.

Join me on April 5th

Trump, Musk and Republicans in Congress are gutting services, raising prices, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other life-saving programs. It’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/JrfMHWZK I'm going to the April 5 march in D.C. Anyone joining me?

Why can't we send a letter to every rural hospital, every nursing home and every assisted living center and tell them President Trump has announced a 15% cut in Medicaid so their reimbursements will be cut by that amount shortly?

If there's no Dept. of Education, there are no Pell Grants. The National Weather Service isn't going to step in and take of it. Why can't we send a letter to the financial aid office at every college and tell them President Trump has announced the end of all Pell Grants?

Why can't we send a letter to every veterans organization telling them that President Trump supports closing up the Veterans Crisis Hotline and laying off more veteran civil service workers?

Why can't we send a letter to every rural hospital and every nursing home telling them that President Trump has announced that Medicaid is being cut in half and they will no longer be able to count on Medicaid reimbursements?

Without the Department of Education, there are no Pell Grants. Why can't we send a letter to every financial aid office of every college and tell them President Trump has announced that Pell Grants are ending and they will have to notify their students?

This is us, protesting in front of Chuck and Kirsten’s offices on 3rd Ave today. Our rhymes are getting better, which makes all the difference.

Invite the USAID staff to come back to work at any space in D.C. that you control, your own office if necessary. The good work of USAID will resume and we'll prove that Musk's orders are useless.

Tell your Member of Congress / Senator: HOST THE USAID STAFF! If shutting them down is illegal, then giving them a place to work is legal and necessary.
