Lost Teeth which Jona Tarlin, originally titled Tori Please Be Happy, began 15 years ago when Jona saw a picture of a woman with a bandage around her head, Ray-Bans, and a drill going into her skull. 

A warning from A GOD You mortals keep screwing up in the same way again, and again, and again! How many times do I have to visit destruction on your vain leaders who think they can control my forces of sensuality, instinct and freedom?

Choreographer, Yoshiko Usami (AKA Yokko) & Producer Bob Lyness responded to some questions from DC Theatre Scene. ———————— Tell us about the moment where you said to yourself: “I just have to do this!” Yokko:  The idea came to me few years ago with the title. While I was having a conversation with my friends, I […]

I’m genetically predisposed to be a storyteller. No one in my family can respond to a simple question with a simple answer. A colorful narrative, complete with flourishing hand gestures, and maybe even vocal impressions, is created instead.

Actor Alec Seymour responded to some our questions, and added a few of his own. What story are you telling? You know, just a good old fashioned bromance between a boy and a plant trapped in the void of deep space. You’ve seen it a thousand times.
