"The Velvet Rut" is a fantastic piece of theatre written by the gracious and talented James Still. A break from my usual realism-driven work, "The Velvet Rut" was an emotional and evocative production that had only loose ties to reality. A church window, stars, and a porch light wove light through the otherwise dark journey. It is a beautiful piece to read and a gut-wrenching piece to watch, and I couldn't help but examine my own life while I tried to create the world onstage. A big thanks to Joi, Max, and Gary, and James for making this play extraordinary.
