Review: "Dumb/Sex," 3 AM Productions—Four stars

First of all, I just have to say I love any group of theater people like 3AM Productions that would think to do a double feature of Harold Pinter’s “The Dumb Waiter” and David Mamet’s “Sexual Perversity In Chicago” and call the thing “Dumb/Sex.”  And the strange thing is, the two scripts are actually a good match for each other.  They’re both about characters talking, but not communicating.  With Pinter, it’s the things that live in the silence between the things that are said, and the questions that go unanswered.  With Mamet, it’s the things that end up getting said instead of the things that need to be said.  When any of the evening’s characters need to really connect with one another, words fail.  MORE »

Minnesota playwrights gather at the Playwrights' Center

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

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 »

Fringe 2009: Review—"An Intimate Evening With Fotis III," Five stars

by Matthew A. Everett | 8/18/09 • It's Always A Good Idea To Get Intimate With Fotis (too much? I couldn't resist the headline, sorry.) "I was curious to see if I could keep something alive other than my cat.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 »
