Poet/Performer/Playwright Jane Elias has been writing Corona Style Poems (a series of poems in which the last line of a poem serves as the first line for the next poem) in the Time of Corona. Jane writes each poem for a specific actor. She has been writing a poem a day since April and will continue to do so until the vaccine is made available. Here Megan performs Jane’s 200th sonnet. Megan decided to record the sonnet first thing in the morning right after she got up in her pajamas. Check out Jane’s other sonnets on Twitter: @eliastories

EDDIE AND DAVE / JANUARY 10 – FEBRUARY 10, 2019
World Premiere Play
EDDIE AND DAVE
Written by and Featuring AMY STAATS
Directed by MARGOT BORDELON
Atlantic Stage 2, 330 West 16th Street
A raucous retelling of the rise and fall of Pasadena’s most groundbreaking 80s rockers told through the foggy lens of a lonely, out of work MTV-VJ. Eddie and Dave is a gender-bending new play by Amy Staats (Miles for Mary, Atlantic’s Tow Playwright-in-Residence) about hubris, friendship, family, fame, musical genius and what happens when the person you need is the one you find most irritating.
