This week

Dan and I discuss the nature of performance art with an eye towards a specific incident that happened in New York City. We will be using the incident as a jumping off point rather than the complete focus of the discussion. We want you to be a part of this conversation, so here are some links to news stories that we are looking at and many of them are NSFW:

This is not an exhaustive list, but something to get the old juices flowing...

Rather than the usual Thursday release, this post will be available on Friday.

Next week

We talk with Larry Herold, award winning Dallas area playwright, about his play THE SPORTS PAGE and his experiences as a playwright in the area as well as the usual Stage Directions banter. Should be an interesting interview.
