Yesterday's Out and About - Chelsea Duvall - Director of POTUS...

Yesterday,  playwright, actor, educator and director Chelsea Duvall was my guest on Out and About. Chelsea was with me, primarily, to talk about her latest production - directing POTUS at Spokane Civic Theatre. The show has been selling out to wonderful reviews. Of course, our conversation also touched other topics besides this fun show. I could have easily spent another hour talking with Chelsea about politics, art, science and community. Chelsea was recently in the national touring production of Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol . This sounds like a very cool show and I hope we get to see it in Spokane someday. You can catch POTUS at Spokane Civic Theatre until March 8.

Today on Out and About - POTUS with Chelsea Duvall

Today on Out and About, I’ll be talking with playwright, director and actor Chelsea Duvall. Chelsea is currently directing POTUS at Spokane Civic Theatre. It’s an interesting story that certainly resonates with our times. The last time Chelsea was on Out and About, she was directing Julius Caesar at Stage Left and what a wonderful show that was. As usual, I am sure our conversation will also veer into art and current events. How could it not?

I will start the show with a quick listing of activism events promoting freedom and democracy that are taking place in Spokane this week. I am going to do this every week. And, as always, thank you to my underwriters - Boots Bakery, Eastern Washington University and Breathing Room.

In Santa Clara,

Robert Kraft, a MAGA man,

Watched New England burn.

Decades of hard work

Built a country for her kids

No rest for her yet

The same futile moves 

Gentleman versus Satan 

It looks like checkmate

Yesterday's Out and About - SPLAT it up!!!!

 

Yesterday, I had a conversation with Alana Shepherd and Nanette Cloud from Spokane’s SPLAT co-op. It’s a very exciting project, based out of Spokane’s Downtown milk bottle. I was so inspired by what they are doing.

I’m under the gun:

Yes, it’s ultimatum time. 

Can’t make up my mind. 

Max Q

“Are we breaking up?”

“Are we lovers or just friends?”

Déjà vu again. 

Max Q

Love is in the air. 

Shit! Here comes Valentine’s Day’s

Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Oh great Amazon

Bring me the crap I so want

When I hit submit

Sweaty restless nights 

Constant stream of vivid dreams

Unloading my head

Desperate making

Hands, eyes, ears work overtime

Desert’s fertile land
