This week I'm highlighting a former student, Jess Honovich. Jess studied Educational Theatre at NYU, got her bachelors degree, then entered the work force for two years. I had Jess in a number of classes at NYU, and then last year she acted in my site-specific project at Red Bank Battlefield. Her Irish indentured servant was a highlight for audiences, and she was a pleasure to work with on that project.

If we really consider what politicians are saying right now and analyze their actions, can't we apply some of the above goals of misbehavior to explain some of the reasons for their statements and actions? I mean, really. Some of them are behaving like the child who continually acts out in a 4th grade classroom. They resort to tactics that garner them attention and thankfully for us, also point to their inadequacies.

Julia and Steve continue to argue, and Claire tries to keep them all moving forward to the closing on their parents' house.

My blog was quieter than usual this week because I was in Dublin, Ireland, completing the work on the premiere of Jenny Macdonald's one-woman show Enthroned at the First Fortnight Festival.

Steve tries to protect the snowflake in spite of Julia's lack of interest.
