  • Review of Monologues by LGBTQIA+ Writers for LGBTQIA+ Actors in Little Village Magazine!

    A huge thank you to Little Village Magazine and Isaac Hamlet for publishing and Rob Silverman Ascher for writing this lovely review of Monologues by LGBTQIA+ Writers for LGBTQIA+ Actors! Give it a read here:

    Speaking as someone who calls Iowa my home state, where I grew up, having the magazine I read all the time in college publish this review is surreal in the best way.

    Some of our contributors mentioned by name for their wonderful monologues are Thomas J. Misuraca, Cassidy Guimares , Sophie Katz, David Blitzman, Cal Walker , Glenn Alterman, A’liya Spinner, and Aly Kantor.

    Thank you, Little Village! 💞🌈

  • Resources for Standing with the AAPI Community

    We must all take the time to stand in solidarity with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community in light of the recent shooting in Atlanta by a white supremacist targeting and murdering six Asian women and the ongoing rise in racism and anti-Asian violence across the United States. It is still sadly ongoing, and furthermore we should always be working in solidarity and dismantling systems of oppression and harm, especially those of us who are white. Here are some links for resources:

    If anyone has anything else to add (resources or anything at all), please feel free to share with some scripts.

  • Black Lives Matter. Black Lives in Theatre Matter.

    Theatre has not listened. some scripts also needs to take responsibility. We would like to take this moment to say #BlackLivesMatter and to continue creating change for our growing magazine that caters to an industry that has ignored the lived experiences of Black and Brown folx.
    This video is a must-watch for the white folx who follow us or who have been contributors. Please watch. And please begin to take tangible action in our theatre and arts institutions. “You have a choice to not recognize it.”
