I was pleased to note that the Laurence Klavan of the Jewish Daily Forward mentioned Jacob’s House in his 2010 round up, True Drama. Laurence’s original review came at a time when I was unsettled by other critical reactions to the play. His current round-up is one of the more interesting takes on theatre in…

So we were thrilled to attend Micro-Fest LA, NET’s mini-conference on new play development in Los Angeles from December 3rd-5th. It was indeed a jam-packed 3 days –…
Our friends at Judson Memorial Church were interviewed by Martin Denton of nytheatre.com! It’s a great interview, and I was particularly struck by this one quote (slightly edited) from Michael Ellick: “The way we understand the gospel in our Christian tradition is not that our job is to evangelize in the sense of I’m trying…
(What is The Wider Frame?) Though Menders is a year away, it’s not to soon to be thinking of the ripple in the real world this play makes. This is especially true on a day where the Senate votes to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell; an act that connects directly with Menders‘ themes of conflict…
