10 questions: Paul Braunstein
Paul Braunstein in Alias Godot. 1) What the fuck is going on?In my little world the play is going on and my girlfriend left to do a job in Saskatchewan, and Toronto sports teams all collectively suck.

10 questions: Mike Daisey
1) What the fuck is going on? The wheels of time grind inexorably forward; our culture intensifies and multiplies, growing more complex as it fragments, while the corporatization of all things is the clear watchword of the age. We say what we say faster and make connections more quickly, but the time to make the […]
10 questions remixed: Anger
Ryan McMahon 1) How much of your work is informed by a sense of anger?All of it. Every last consonant and mother-fucking vowel bleeds anger.

10 questions: Mac Rogers
Photo by Saundra Yaklin. 1) What the fuck is going on?We are witnessing the Schiavo-ization of theat – wait, wrong cue-card . . . Sorry, I’m goofing off because the question freaks me out. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. I want there to be one spot I can look at and see the whole […]
10 questions: Maja Ardal
1) What the fuck is going on?We don’t talk on the phone any more. We silently communicate by email. Is this good? In a way. The phone is a most peculiar instrument; I mean I could be talking to someone who’s making faces at me and I’d never see it. Emailing can feel like letter […]

10 questions: Erika Batdorf
Photos by David Leyes. 1) What the fuck is going on?Not enough really long games of Monopoly and too much caffeine to make it through the grant applications. Not enough skating and too much driving.

10 questions: Alison Broverman
1) What the fuck is going on? I’ve been laying pretty low for the past few months, actually, recovering from an intensely exhilarating summer (my first Fringe show! Yikes!). Writing about this and that, seeing as much theatre as I can, very quietly working on my second play. Oh, and a friend of mine and […]
10 questions: Mallory Gilbert
1) What the fuck is going on? Change is happening – as usual. We’re getting caught up in religious wars. Desperation has made huge numbers of people turn away from reason toward blind faith. Because they can’t solve the problems that face them in the present, they’re turning back the clock. Pretty soon, we’ll have […]
