This blog is a visual articulation of MY views of the world around me. I will present various sides of arguments, and always sum them up with my own personal take.
My more entertaining/diverse/ridiculous/lovable blog can be found at http://mrjdjude.tumblr.com/ and I'll do all of my following from that blog as well!
Thanks and enjoy!

Howlround- Zelda Fichandler: Address to the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society in Celebration of the Third Annual Zelda Fichandler Award
In the “Journal of the American New Voices Play Institute” there was an article by co-founder of Arena Stage, Zelda Fichandler. I wish I could have sat under her! What an inspiration! She is so insightful and in this article she articulates, just as well as she always has, the challenges we face in the American Theatre and proposes ways in which we can soldier forward.
I’ve been blessed to have read many of her speeches (shoutout to my Bestie, Stacey Stewart!) and I’ve been inspired by her words; but never like this one. Her words, at this time in my life, feel more like a manifesto than just a good speech. I hope to inspire the type of change I am looking forward and will go forth with her words as a constant reminder of what strong values and strong thought can do for an artist, and institution and the field.
