In Dialogue: Framing Rinne Groff
By Deron Bon1. Im meeting Rinne Groff at New Dramatists and am surprised to see that its actually an old church. For some reason in my mind I had imagined it would be this super slick Logans Run-inspired design playwright fortress. A big dream for a non profit, I know, but it could be possible in New York. The gatekeeper of N.D. lets me in, but tells me there is a meeting in the library today. When Rinne arrives, she gives me a hug and is a little relieved to go to a café anyway, because shes just come off the train from Providence.

Houses of Faustus (The Devils in the Details)
By David KilpatrickIts tempting to declare a Faustian zeitgeist. With two productions from two of New Yorks most interesting experimental theater companies dealing with the infamous scholar-magician (an historical figure contemporary with Luther), one cant help but wonder if there is something about the present moment that sends us to the mirror.
