Download or read book The Gallery Trilogy Three Plays written by Casey Ross and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-07-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gallery Trilogy: Three Plays by Casey Ross includes the full series of RossOs three plays that follow 10 years of a friendship between two disparate artist-best friends. Conceived when Ross was in school at alma mater, Hanover College, the goal of these three plays was to follow and age a set of characters through the actual amount of years between play premieres. The writer was to grow up with the characters. All three of these plays were originally produced through the IndyFringe Festival as episodic chapters and have become local favorites. Art acts as a metaphor for life in these modern sharp-witted plays, as we follow JacksonOs unswayable passion and FrankOs perhaps self-stifling technique over 10 remarkably human years.

Book excerpt: Using small-town life as a springboard to explore the loftiest of ideas, Haven Kimmel’s irresistibly smart and generous first novel is at once a romance and a haunting meditation on grief and faith. Langston Braverman returns to Haddington, Indiana (pop. 3,062) after walking out on an academic career that has equipped her for little but lording it over other people. Amos Townsend is trying to minister to a congregation that would prefer simple affirmations to his esoteric brand of theology. What draws these difficult—if not impossible—people together are two wounded little girls who call themselves Immaculata and Epiphany. They are the daughters of Langston’s childhood friend and the witnesses to her murder. And their need for love is so urgent that neither Langston nor Amos can resist it, though they do their best to resist each other. Deftly walking the tightrope between tragedy and comedy, The Solace of Leaving Early is a joyous story about finding one’s better self through accepting the shortcomings of others.
Download or read book Dungeons and Dreamers written by Brad King and published by Etc Press. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the multibillion computer game industry, there was Dungeons & Dragons, a tabletop game created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson in 1974. D&D captured the attention of a small but influential group of players, many of whom also gravitated to the computer networks that were then appearing on college campuses around the globe. With the subsequent emergence of the personal computer, a generation of geeky storytellers arose that translated communal D&D playing experiences into the virtual world of computer games. The result of that 40-year journey is today's massive global community of players who, through games, have forged very real friendships and built thriving lives in virtual worlds. Dungeons & Dreamers follows the designers, developers, and players who built the virtual games and communities that define today's digital entertainment landscape and explores the nature of what it means to live and thrive in virtual communities.
