If you've been wondering why the Impostor has been MIA for the last two months it has nothing do with the fact that his play was just produced and he's taking some well deserved R&R.

In reality he was out committing a large number of felonies as recounted in his latest poem: Impostor on the Loose.

Thankfully, he's still at large, and we pray he'll send more missives on his continuing adventures!
 
 
The Traveller kicks off the summer with an ominous ode to our summer show.

Behold his work, Somewhere Between Up and Down, and then travel to the home page for a glimpse into August!

Soon we'll be launching the Buffoonery Brigade.  Stay tuned for updates.  And for an explanation of what, exactly, that is.
