My Playwright Sister

My Playwright Sister, written and performed by Johanna Nutter and James Diamond, directed by Jesse Strong

Sometimes I see shows so amazing that they make me want to quit acting altogether, because how could I ever do something that honest, that open or that true? Of course, My Playwright Sister isn't necessarily straight theatre, and Johanna Nutter and James Diamond aren't acting per se. While this show may not fit some notions of what theatre is, it is captivating nonetheless.

Metal Monday: The Best Heavy Metal Compilation Album Covers of All Time

January 20 2014 // Magazine // Features

Stop. Before you read any further, reread the title of this article. Good. Now, don't flame me if you don't like that one particular Judas Priest song, or if this particular band or that particular band isn't metal enough or heavy enough or any other nonsense. This is about album COVERS, not album contents, because I like pretty pictures as well as heavy music, so this is about graphic design more than anything else.
