  1. That is a whole lot of good news (I'm super excited about the whole Fresh Ink line up). And thanks for mentioning the interview series--John was great. Oh, and I'm glad Walt was talking about writing non-human characters--his Marathon piece about mis-matched socks remains one of very favorite short plays of all time.

    1. I agree! I find this all exciting and incredibly inspiring. (And I'm with you about Walt's 'Two Socks Discuss Loss,' too.)
