News Anchor Katie Couric is rumored to be leaving the CBS Evening News when her contract expires on June 4. Word on the street is that Katie is upset with her ratings at CBS and may head on over and join the cast of the dirty old ladies on the set of Cougartown. This change may be attributed to Katie’s daughter, who politely told her, “Nobody watches the news on TV anymore, mom.” Larry King when asked for comment said, “You go girl! I wish I would have followed my dreams in the 90’s and joined the cast of Baywatch.”

The Last Dreams of Helene Weigel or How to Get Rid of The Feminism Once and For All is an experimental, documentary opera following Helene Weigel, More

The Last Dreams of Helene Weigel or How to Get Rid of The Feminism Once and For All is an experimental, documentary opera following Helene Weigel, Bertolt Brecht’s wife and "the greatest actress who ever lived" as she snaps the neck of a wild swan, escapes robbery by door-to-door linoleum salesmen, and makes covert visits in her dreams to the nunnery cell of Héloîse d’ Argenteuil, the 12th Century philosopher best known in light of her lover Abelard’s castration. Helene is also haunted by Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz, the self-proclaimed "worst woman in the world" (also played by Andrea Suarez). Using these women as detailed examples of female constructions of self, PPL asks; is it true that women conceive themselves as a pattern of interconnections? Is "construction of self" a concept constructed by a male-centric philosophy of being? How have women felt about being women? Is one woman representative of every woman? Text/Direction: Esther Neff Music/Music Direction: Brian McCorkle Assistant Director: Alex Bisker Costume Design: Lena Sands Set Design: Liz Jenetopulos Starring: (in order of appearance) Tom Swirly Andrea Suarez Loren Barnese Kate Garfield Jessica Bathurst Katie Johnston Matthew Gonzalez Matthew Stephen Smith
