A personal essay newsletter about theater as a way of seeing, making and thinking, moving between reflections on Gloria Steinem, small-town Ohio and Montana, and the local theater troupes that serve their communities. Readers get idiosyncratic, anecdote-driven writing that connects theater to place, history and community need.
Ben Kaye writes theater reviews and cultural commentary, with recent pieces covering Chicago-area productions such as The Trick of Threes, Ride the Cyclone and Elephant in the Womb. Readers get opinionated, witty reviews that place each show in context and judge its ambition and execution.
Courtney Stanton's personal newsletter mixes original poetry, sharp essayistic reflections on theatre and New York, and candid, personal writing about gender, testosterone and bodily change. Readers get idiosyncratic, opinionated cultural criticism and intimate first-person writing with a strong voice.
