Minnesota playwrights gather at the Playwrights' Center

By Matthew A. Everett, TC Daily Planet

A play of mine is being read at the Playwrights' Center this Sunday, October 18th.

If I'd typed that sentence sometime between 1994 and 2002, it wouldn't seem all that strange.

Typing it in 2009 seems pretty strange.

But I'm happy to be typing it. And a bit hopeful.

I'm not really hopeful for me.MORE »

Shameless Plug of the Day: Vaudeville Extravaganza

By Matthew A. Everett, TC Daily Planet

It's the final weekend for this event, and it's entertainment for a most worthy cause, so I thought I'd give it a shout-out. The artist involved is someone who did a really fine Fringe show back in 2005—Swim Home—which removed a lot of the stigma off of miming for me. When done well, it can be pretty amazing. And he does it well. When he's not fighting for his life, which at the moment, he is.MORE »

Writer on the run (literally)

by Matthew A. Everett | 8/18/09 • This Friday morning, 11am, I'll see what my two trainers (both named Tim) over the last year and a half have made out of me. I know I'm thirty pounds lighter than I was back in April 2008 when I met and started training with Tim #1. In July 2008, I bought my first pair of running shoes and started running outdoors, not just on a treadmill.MORE »

Fringe 2009: Decompression day

by Matthew A. Everett | 8/17/09 • I spent the evening of the day after Fringe with tctheaterconnection's Joshua Humphrey and his friend Nick Decker. I was thinking this would be, you know, a part of my evening. A chat a little short of an hour, like the previous podcast I'd done about something non-Fringey.MORE »

THEATER | Barbara Berlovitz's "Stories as Told in a Bed": An intimate and sublimely humorous journey

By Dwight Hobbes, TC Daily Planet

It is tricky business reviewing a work in progress, putting the writer in a barely tenable position. How can you be fair to the playwright, casting comment on a script that's still in development? Critique the weaknesses and you're a villain for kicking the play's legs out from under it before it's had a chance to actually stand on them. Praise the strengths and you're a cheerleader clapping the author on the back before the job's finished being done.MORE »
