We’ll do seven free 30-minute showcases, followed by drinks/snacks. The intent is to share the show with regional theaters/producers/presenters (so we can book a tour, baby!!), so please spread the word amongst your networks! We’d love friendly audiences too, so if you’ve been itching for a peek, come on by. We’d love to see you.

It’s time for us to announce that the World Premiere Production of Polylogues (scheduled for April-May at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater) has been postponed. The state of our world is such that this is a no-brainer for us. But we and C**t Coeur are fully committed to bringing you the show (and holding you in community and love) when the time is right.

In the meantime, we are going to make live theater happen digitally! On Monday, March 23rd, at 8pm EST, will GO LIVE on C**t Coeur's Instagram Page (https://www.instagram.com/coltcoeur/), performing an excerpt of the show. It was supposed to be our first day of rehearsal. Please join us! Any comments/questions posted during the performance will be addressed in a talkback afterwards.

Live theater doesn’t have to go away just because we can’t physically be together. And our guess is that we’ll need art in the coming weeks/months. We’re going to do our best to keep finding ways to make it, and to keep our community strong.

Can’t wait to see you on Monday night for our 8pm curtain!!! ❤️❤️❤️

NEWS ALERT: Read this exciting article about Polylogues in Columbia Journalism Review today! Our run is SOLD OUT online, but there may be tix at the door, so come try to get lucky! We’d love to see you.

This week, in a rehearsal room at Molloy College in downtown Manhattan, Xandra Clark sat in a folding chair, one leg tucked under the other, hand on her forehead, deep in thought. The room, fluorescent lit, was mostly empty. Clark, who is 28, had earbuds in; her cell phone was tucked into a pocket.....
