I did substantial research for this show, reading dozens of books and hundreds of articles, as well as interviewing numerous men and women involved in the sex trade, legally or otherwise. This is a partial bibliography, not a comprehensive list, especially the articles; I have just listed sources that were indispensable for my show and that included information not available elsewhere.

I did Theatre Unbound‘s 24-Hour Play Project again this year (or the 24:00:00 Xtreme Theatre Smackdown, as they call it) and once again, I lucked out by getting a fantastic director and actors who made me and my writing partner (Ruth Virkus) look really good (though the energy felt much better in real life than it appears in this tiny video…)
For those who don’t know, the way a 24-hour play project works is that we, the writers, show up on Friday night and have until 5am to write a brand new ten-minute play, incorporating whatever wacky ingredients are assigned to us. The next day, while we’re sleeping in, the producer assigns actors and directors, who have the rest of the day to rehearse — and then Saturday night, the plays are performed.
A line of Dialogue: “Yes, due to liability issues.”
An object whose name no one wants to say
Sudden lust for an inanimate object
Exit, pursued by a bear (allow creative interpretation of the word “bear”)
An award

“There’s nothing exciting about crawling into an attic and insulating it, but if you understand that you are helping your community, that can take you the extra mile. Green jobs are inherently meaningful and dignified.”
Iraqi Translators in Danger"It’s kind of like you know when you watch an action movie… but it’s [a] sad movie."
An Iraqi immigrant leaves the U.S. for Baghdad after Hussein’s fall — only to learn that things are more dangerous than ever.
