When you visit the Medieval Institute Publications table at #kzoo2023 you’ll see a familiar face looking back at you. 😉 Happy Congress all!

Back on Twitter for a hot second for all the #kzoo2023 takes because this conference is huge and no one person can take it all in!

I want to encourage all the burgeoning #theatre scholars out there to consider studying/researching theatre, drama, & performance in the medieval era. There’s so much to uncover and your fellow medievalists are just some of the most lovely people!!

Be sure to catch the performances of the Mostly Medieval Theatre Festival! These performances are fun, engaging, and—like medieval theatre—happening in public spaces that aren’t theatres! #kzoo2023

More plugging: It’s not available JUST yet, but look out for my book on the 12th-century PLAY ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST, translation by the amazing Carol Symes, out in August!

Just putting this out there in case anyone at #kzoo2023 wants to talk anything drama, theatre, performance…I stand at the ready! Please reach out! Replies or DMs always welcome. Y’all have a great time otherwise! #kzoo23

Smh: Of the 20 most-produced high school plays, only one is by a woman (D.W. Gregory’s Radium Girls). Musicals fare a little better, with Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Nell Benjamin, Tina Fey, Tina Landau, Lynn Ahrens, Jeanine Tesori, and ABBA on the list. schooltheatre.org/2023-play-surv…

NY Times reporting that tonight’s 8 pm performance of Hamilton is canceled due to air quality impact on performers.

In few other professions does the means of production equate to the literal body of the laborer. Remember: “the show must go on” always benefits the producer more than the performer.

In case you were looking for the perfect way of explaining Theatre of Cruelty

Another regional theatre goes dark permanently. The post-covid world has revealed a lot of cracks in professional #theatre models in the US. Something needs to change. The way we produce theatre must change, esp. for local theatres like Triad Stage greensboro.com/news/local/tri…

We like a challenge at Past Preservers! A client has asked us to find an American forensics expert based in the UK for an upcoming TV project. Twitter please do your thing!
