After a year of on again off again workshops, labs, and being in a room with many, many people, the full cast and table team began rehearsals for Time, A Fair Hustler this Monday. It is so exciting to realize how much we have already created, and yet to find that we just on the tip of the iceberg of where this show can go. There is so much to be built and played with, and the next five weeks promise hard work and deep discovery. The Portland Tribune published an article on the play and Jen Mitas, Hand2Mouth's remarkable Executive Director, wrote a beautiful, personal essay for The Brooklyn Quarterly on Portland, My Own Private Idaho, and what growing up with and about a place means.
