Next Time the Neatline, writtenn and performed by Emma Jaster. Time is ticking, rolling, spinning away from home. A ball of yarn, a mosaic, a gramophone? Waiting in the station our unlikely hero wonders- How is stationery like a station? Fits and starts, maps and charts. The piling up of postcards and adventures unknown. All the arrows point to something out of sight.  See it in the cozy confines of  The Corner Store, 900 South Carolina Ave SE, Washington, DC.
