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!

Without the hard work and dedication of our cast and production crew, along with the generous support of our donors, we would be a merry band of clowns juggling in the park for change.  Not a bad fate, altogether, but certainly not the intended goal.  So thanks everybody, and thanks to all who came out to "Act the Fool."

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

Thanks to all who made the first weekend of "Act the Fool" a smashing success!  More updates to follow on this blog!  And a big shout out to TERMiNAL Brooklyn for mentioning us on their brand new website.

We will have production photos and video in about a week, so check back for that.  And more thanks to all the publications who have listed our performance:

The Impostor opens his mouth to make some outlandish and debatable statements in Modern Garbage.

The Traveller and the Impostor trade blows in back to back days!  First off the Traveller continues down his trail with When Pushing the Road Beneath His Feet.  Meanwhile, the Impostor comes to a compromise in Laundry Day.

Two new poems have been published for your reading pleasure:

Moonlight Muse by the Impostor
and Trinity by the Traveller.
