YOU GOTTA HAVE ♥ Ken Urban’s I ♥ KANT

One summer while in college, Ken Urban had an epiphany. “I had a job, which lasted exactly one day,” Urban informed me, “where I hauled vats of chemicals around an abandoned manufacturing plant in Pennsylvania…. That was the day I decided to get a Ph.D in English and become a playwright.” Since his illustrious beginnings, Urban has built a reputation both as an academic and an artist.
