Lit in the Time of Coronavirus

This is a story where we don’t know how it ends.
It starts in August 1972, my dad sealing the deal on a used two-tone cobalt/sky blue Cutlass while my mom and sisters and I sit inside on vinyl-covered bench seats, my mom protesting the very premise of “(If Loving You is Wrong) I Don’t Want to be Right” by Luther Ingram.

Book Review: Barn 8

Imagine Moby Dick as a chicken.

You remember the final scene of Sunset Blvd.. Norma Desmond is at the top of the staircase, eyes eerily wide, lost in the mad belief that she's back on set, about to be filmed. Her devoted manservant and former director Max yells, "Action!" and Norma makes that slow, spooky, gliding descent.
Cut to: Emily Beyda's The Body Double.

Review: Single Black Female

Despite the constant reminders of a ticking clock, Lisa B. Thompson’s Single Black Female is stuck in the Nineties. Currently running at Ground Floor Theatre under the direction of Matrex Kilgore, this play hits some graceful notes despite an overall dissonance for the world we reside in today.
