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.
