Review of Latest Tenderloin Opera Show

Click HERE to read the Indy's review of last weekend's Tenderloin Opera Company* performance: "Can of Worms (Two-Stent Heart)." (page 5 in the issue, article "Buses into Landsharks")  There are some beautiful drawings of the Tipsy Tree, RIPTA Landsharks, and other critters from the show.

The performance was a big success.  Thanks to all who took part and came to the show. (documentation up soon)

Also check out the impressive interview with Junot Díaz.

*I am a proud member and co-music director of TOC.

Write-Up on URI Website

Here's a write-up of me and my colleague, photographer Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, about the RISCA Fellowship Award by the University of Rhode Island website.  Author Elizabeth Rau discusses my piece The (unfinished) Ballad of Adam and Elena Emery and the Rhode Island murder story that inspired that piece.
