He’s a regular contributor to the 14/48 Festival and Sandbox Radio Live as well as a teaching artist with ACT’s Young Playwright’s Program. You might’ve seen some of his work produced last year in the form of Theater Schmeater’s Attack of the Killer Murder…of Death! and Seattle Public Theatre’s Christmastown: A Holiday Noir. Rawley just completed a run directing his play Live! From the Last Night of my Life, winner of the 2012 Gregory Award for Outstanding New Play. The production reunited the cast and crew of the acclaimed 2011 show. Continuing this month’s run of notable Seattle playwrights, Rawley joined me for a handful of questions. See more interviews with Seattle theatre artists every Friday over at EncoreArtsSeattle.com. What’s the best performance you’ve seen lately? This is a trick question because I just opened a show. If I say, “The best rock solid support to the show. She was at every single rehearsal, she helps performances? Why the performances are in MY show of course!” I sound keep the hundreds of moving parts backstage greased and spinning, the a little disingenuous. And if I say some other performances then my cast entrances happening, the play moving forward. She sets up before the show chases me around the room with knives. and leads the clean up after. We could not do Live! From The Last Night of My But here is the truth. One truly great performance for me this past Life without her and she does it night after night, flawlessly. weekend was turned in by Jessamyn Bateman-Lino. She is the assistant The best performance this weekend you didn’t see. Even if you did. stage manager for Live! From The Last Night of My Life. She runs our Crazy, right? So you are going to have to trust me. It truly is a sight to backstage before during and after every performance. She is a tireless, not behold. 4 ENCORE STAGES ENCORE ARTS NEWS What’s the best meal in Seattle? One Word. Med Kitch. Two words actually, but each cut in half to equal one word. It’s the insider way to say The Mediterranean Kitchen (I made that up). On Boren just north of Madison. My favorite food in the city that is not a Dick’s Burger. That scream you heard back in 2005 and you didn’t know what it was but it sounded close? That was me living in Los Angeles learning that their original Queen Anne location had closed. But they have been back for a while now and if you love garlic, you should stop whatever you are doing and go get some shwarma. Or the Farmers Plate, which is chicken wings covered in a sauce so good we must not speak of it. If you don’t love garlic, well then, you’ve got bigger problems than I can help you with. What music gets you pumped up? What do you listen to when you’re sad? The first thing I do when I think I have something I want to work on is make a playlist. I have lots of playlists. I’ve been listening to a lot of disco lately. I like disco because it is the music of people who feel very strongly that they are sexy and yet may or may not actually be sexy. For the last year I’ve had this idea for a play in my head and I don’t have a clue about what it is except for a vision of the poster that says the play’s title (I don’t know) and right under the title it says “Now with 75% more DISCO!” I can’t wait until it’s written so I can stop listening to so much disco. When I’m sad I listen to The Wailin’ Jennys’ cover of Neil Young’s “Old Man.” Female voices singing in harmony take my eyes to the sky. What’s the ideal setting for writing a play? Right before it is due is always the most ideal setting for writing a play. Beyond that, there is not any such thing. Not anymore. If I’m going to write, it’s got to be whenever I can, wherever I am. 4 a.m. On the train. Any coffee shop with an empty outlet and some type of sausage breakfast sandwich. I do a lot of writing on my bike commute. I wrote this paragraph on my bike. I forgot the rest of it, but it was very insightful. What’s the most useful thing anyone’s ever taught you about working in theatre? A dear friend and teacher, Judith Weston, taught me, “There is no Passive Income.” That means that in the theater, if you want it to work, you have to be there. And be there. And be there. You can’t write it and walk away. Oh, and “Play Your Pain.” August Wilson taught me that. (Pause. Removes hat.)

  • Proverbs 11:1 May 20, 2020 Pare
    1 “A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.” - - Proverbs 11:1 ​ May 20, 2020 Parents and Students, Because the administration has directed that no official project or writing assignment be attached to summer reading, I am not changing it much from what I had last year for Honors and AP students.. Honestly, if your student is reading anything and enjoying it, that’s great! The connection between reading and academic success -- both now and on standardized tests, writing, and post secondary learning -- is overwhelming! I recommend (and this is advice I have to take myself!) branching out from one’s favorite genre for variety and to discover additional types of writing to enjoy. Other than recommendations from people you know who have studied or read the works, an easy option for choosing a book is to look up an excerpt of the novel/drama. That way, you know the level of difficulty as well as the author’s style and language. Almost all good literature contains less-than-savory elements -- language, sinful behavior, sometimes even an overt or subtle skewed world view. With that disclaimer comes the fact that most, if not all good literature that I have read doesn’t glorify sin but punishes it in some way. Christian family review sites also exist, including the following: Redeemed Reader, Focus on the Family, Plugged In, and Common Sense Media. Below is a lengthy article by Bob Jones University that deals with potentially objectionable material from a biblical worldview in a thorough manner.

  • Wharton - Wikipedia
    4/27/2020 Edith Wharton - Wikipedia Edith Wharton Edith Wharton (/ hw rtən/; born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was an American Edith Wharton novelist, short story writer, playwright, and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York "aristocracy" to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996.[1] Contents Biography Early life Early writing Socialite and debutante 1880s Travels and life abroad Edith Wharton, c. 1895 Later years Death Born Edith Newbold Writing Jones Career January 24, 1862 Themes in writings New York City Influences Died August 11, 1937 Works (aged 75) Novels Saint-Brice-sous- Novellas and novelette Forêt, France Poetry Short story collections Resting Cimetière des place Non-fiction Gonards As editor Occupation Novelist, short story Adaptations writer, designer.

This study of her .fiction is limited to one aspect of her literary virtuosity, her use of drama.tic irony to contribute to the form i n her fiction. Such a otudy presents a two-fold problem. In the first place, the writer must show how drama.tic irony can contribute to form; thus, he must involve himself in aest hetics, a study very difficult to document. In the second place, he must show that dramatic irony contributed to the form of Ed.1th Wharton's fiction. In order to deal \Ii.th this two-headed problem in a unified essay, I decided that the best approach would be to give a short explanation of my idea that dramatic iroizy can contribute to form and then to illustrate the explanation by giving specific examples from Mrs. Wharton's fiction.

  • Postmodernist Fusion of Historical Facts and Fictional Reality in Kurt Vonnegut’S Hocus Pocus
    ====================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 19:3 March 2019 India’s Higher Education Authority UGC Approved List of Journals Serial Number 49042 ===================================================================== Postmodernist Fusion of Historical Facts and Fictional Reality in Kurt Vonnegut’s Hocus Pocus T. Kavivarman Dr. K. Ganeshram Ph.D. Research Scholar Assistant Professor Department of English Department of English Annamalai University Annamalai University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper attempts to explore Kurt Vonnegut’s preoccupation with the fantastical takeover of America by International conglomerates in his novel, Hocus Pocus. Vonnegut’s use of a futuristic perspective and many kinds of scientific discoveries and inventions are examined. The paper elaborates Vonnegut’s postmodernist intermingling of historical facts and fictional reality and flair for historical revisionism. Vonnegut’s apocalyptic motifs of strange learning disabilities and disorders and his use of music to transcending the realm of the ordinary receive special attention. Keywords: Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus, Postmodern, Reality, Disabilities, Disorders Kurt Vonnegut occupies a prominent place in American literature. His concerns about technology, the future and myth arise out of the events of his life. His life, his influences, and personal experiences find expression in art. His fiction of the sixties is a fair example of American cultural change. His materials are science, philosophy and anthropology but their form is one that arises out of bourgeoisie life. In an age of complexity and obscurity both of narrative form and vision, Vonnegut appears doggedly middle class, conforming to his simple disposition towards plain truth even in the face of the most challenging atrocities.
