Back at Theater Exile for our family’s show with the School Free Players. This year we found ourselves writing (ry) and directing (me) and acting (all) and as always, there is electricity. Can you feel it? Opening night: abuzz with all the joys and jitters, chaos and care and the MAGIC that shows up every time!
Sunday’s (new old) Table: Zine Fest Prep
The new table is up just in time to get ready for November’s Philly Zine Fest.
Saturday, November 5, 2022 from 12-5pm
Mitten Hall at Temple University (1913 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia PA) – new spacious location. Both Peppermint Alley Press and Philly Teen Zine Collective will be there and we hope to see you!
This Week’s Table (under construction)
Ever live somewhere that doesn’t smell like sawdust and paint with a side of pancakes and coffee? Me either! (and I wouldn’t have it any other way) Our friend Aaron had some old barn wood to share along with a planer so here we are. With rocks to place in the biggest knots and many more projects and meals to come.
Learning Everywhere: puppet style
Local activists needed two small people to be this fantastic 2-person lion as part of the Disenfranchisement Circus. For the littles, it was basically a park playdate with a little extra fun but we also got to talk about politics, abolition, and using theater to share a message. Rhys: I wish we could do this every week. It could be really profitable.
letters to ghosts
It’s been awhile since I found you in my dreams
since I heard you in my ear
yet here we are
stories carry waves that shadow time
a clothespin digging into my side
tingling skin and brushing breeze
the geography of ghosts
soft skin of give
the geometry of fit
scratchy timelines
woven lifelines
staggered breath of now
know a different way to go
Was it enough?
What is enough?
