It's Wednesday and I'm here at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. I'll be here until Tuesday with the New York Theater Workshop workshopping my new play Crossing America under the wonderful direction of Liesl Tommy.

I'm surrounded by trees among trees, groundhogs and their pups, and lots of food that's ripping up my insides... but I'll survive because it's about the art and not a nice grilled piece of salmon and a plate of steamed veggies... no, it's about art, and conversation and uplifting community through storytelling even though if I see one more quiche pie made with ham and cheese I'm gonna explode. LOL.

Until next time,

Keith
