This is theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck with a special online review of Single Carrot Theatre's production of "Is Edward Snowden Single?"The show is being performed at the former Windup Space. "Is Edward Snowden Single?" is the only play I've ever seen where the actors tell the theatergoers they can use their cellphones at any time during the performance. That's the first indication that this play — written by Washington D.C. native Kate Cortesi — is a bit out of the norm. And it gets more out of the norm as it continues. The actresses who play the two lead characters also play a slew of other characters. At times they even play each other. This may be the playwright's way of showing that the protagonists — Mimi and April, roommates and best friends since college — are so close, each knows how the other thinks and acts. But “Is Edward Snowden Single?” isn't just a play about friendship, or just a play about two friends putting on a play, which is also what's going on. Thematically, Mimi and April tell us early on, this is a play about integrity. I'll let them explain. Here is a bit of dialogue between Meghan Stanton and Saraniya Tharmarajah as Mimi and April: MIMI (to the audience) How would you define integrity? (pause)(to April) See? No one knows. Should we tell a story about something nobody knows what it is? (to the audience) It means follow through. APRIL Totally, totally...except it's more like the opposite of that. Follow-through helps you achieve a goal and be a success. Integrity means doing the right thing even if it sets you back. (I guess integrity could mean “following through on being a good person.”) MIMI (That's what I meant. Follow-through of the soul.) APRIL (Cute.) Integrity is what you do when no one's looking. MIMI Okay. APRIL Or what you cop to when (re: the audience) everyone's looking. MIMI Yup. APRIL Integrity is honesty, moral uprightness. I think of it almost like areversing spell against vanity, exploitation, corruption, and greed. MIMI Hot. We are proud to present the story of... APRIL AND MIMI ...How Mimi learned that integrity... MIMI ...is important. APRIL ...exists. There's a third actor in the play, Parker Matthews, who portrays Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower. Snowden appears on live video that is projected on surfaces around the Windup Space. Initially, his image is projected on a rack of clothing; in a later scene, his face is projected on the face of a large teddy bear. Mimi appears to have no interest in politics or in Snowden, but watching a 2014 televised interview, she fantasizes that he begins to flirt with her. You can hear the change in actor Parker Matthews' voice, and her reaction to it: EDWARD SNOWDEN I was shocked that anyone in the UK government would go so far for so little. If the UK had been pursuing, say—(the magic is back) You, Mimi, then shoot, girl. I'd violate theGeneva Conventions, too. MIMI I'd violate all the conventions with you. EDWARD SNOWDEN That could get… unethical. MIMI I've got lots of secret intelligence if you've got the skills to— hack it. Romantic fantasy aside, the parallel that the playwright tries to establish between Mimi and Snowden is way out of proportion. Snowden released classified documents that revealed NSA infringement of privacy rights. He is still living in exile. Mimi works in a coffee shop and has evidence of repeated thefts from the cash register by an employee. Blowing the whistle will have some consequences for the employee. At most. No human rights violations, no huge, overriding political considerations. But while comparing Mimi to Snowden may be far-fetched, the play's innate theatricality is exactly the type of imaginative, wild-and-crazy stuff that Single Carrot does best. Director Alix Fenhagen takes the play's stage directions and adds her own wild-and-crazy touch. The script suggests that Snowden be played by a puppet. Instead, Fenhagen and video designer Sean Anthony Preston use live projections — a choice that is not only tougher technically, but also more in keeping with the real Snowden's motivation. Snowden acted out of concern over the abuse of individual privacy. Doing double duty as a cameraman, Parker Matthews spends a lot of the play running around the Windup Space with a video camera. At any moment, this cameraman might be filming/spying on anyone on stage — or in the audience. Under Fenhagen's direction, Meghan Stanton and Saraniya Tharmarajah handle the play's multi-casting with a switch of a prop or two, and a change of voice or posture. They frequently play several characters, of varying ages and genders, in a single short scene. There's thematic justification for multi-casting. Are any of us who we appear to be? And don't we all contain aspects of the people close to us? Despite Single Carrot's excellent work, “Is Edward Snowden Single?” can be confusing. The stage directions acknowledge that it may be — quote — “barely comprehensible.” It may — quote — “[leave] the audience behind.” The playwright's okay with that. Integrity, it seems, isn't just an issue for Snowden and Mimi; the play's structural integrity is also at issue. And yet, at Single Carrot, director Fenhagen and company almost make up for this with a strong dose of technical ingenuity and inventive artistry. “Single Carrot Theatre's production of “Is Edward Snowden Single?” continues at the Windup Space on North Avenue through March 12. The show is also available virtually. I'm Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck. Thanks for listening! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This show with Thejus Chakravarthy ranges over a wide variety of topics but along the way we find out about his professional and life experiences in making change in the world. We start with his origins crowning in a cab in Mumbai, India, the ease in which his right shoulder dislocates after a show once upon a time with his hardcore band Lovers and Killers, the joy of Royal Farm (RoFo) fried chicken, and the brilliance of a 'hot now' Krispy Kreme donut. Skipper and Thejus also get into his two books, Brushfire (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rb4cYn4mEMcXxuMApiVZAVRe-aav6lyL/view?usp=sharing) and The Flywheel and The Lever (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EXi1vET4XcgFQp3Nlrjfx-Z4g80Qi4ki/view?usp=sharing) where they get into some of the foundational details, including Henry Ford's creation of the 40 hour workweek, the Stanford prison experiment done by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, Stanley Milgram's experiments on obedience to authority figures, the notion of 'it's always the system', the Ben Franklin effect, Thejus' experience creating an instructional system out of open source technologies, Donella Meadows' essay on leverage points, and Gamergate. See if you can pick out the Seth Godin namedrop. Interesting note about Thejus' previous band — Lovers and Killers, then Caestles, and now Queen Wolf as well as a second band called Infinite Pizza. While he formally left that band about five years ago, they're still making music and he helps with production and occasionally contributes. Here's an audio family tree/playlist: * "An Hour Left of Forever" from Lovers & Killers' 2006 album Tropic of Cancer (YouTube (https://youtu.be/GRSHueeGhUE) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/track/017VkXSXh0xSMHeSEovhx3)) * "William Blake" from Caestles' 2010 album A Treatise of Human Combustion (YouTube (https://youtu.be/_PTS_G0Km6s) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/track/7Hl0Z57U2QTYNeo3eKbviW?si=gUYlELV_SGSTpoGhyd8S5g)) * Infinite Pizza at the Windup Space in Baltimore on July 13, 2014 (YouTube (https://youtu.be/ZlcO41HLTHk)) Queen Wolf (https://queenwolf.bandcamp.com) and Infinite Pizza (https://infinitepizza.bandcamp.com) are both on Bandcamp, if you want to indulge deeper. After the outro music, you can hear Skipper spring on Thejus a request to read the opening bit from "Brushfire". This episode was edited and mastered by Troy Lococo. Special Guest: Thejus Chakravarthy.

Lars Periwinkle, along with special guest Patrick Storck, hosted a live Hobo Radio podcast this past Saturday at the Windup Space as part of the first ever Baltimore Podcast Festival. Today, we bring you the audio from that show (with a special introduction from Lars and Joel Murphy).

My guest this week is Neru. She’s an MC and singer from Baltimore. I saw her perform at The Windup Space last winter, and I’ve wanted to learn her history ever since. She talks about feeling like a black sheep as a kid, and gradually finding her way into music. She talks about her first group, and how she became a solo artist. We talk about her Enlightenment Era album, and her other forthcoming projects. This episode is hosted by splicetoday.com.

The Skull Base crew head over to local watering hole and all-around useful area The Windup Space to wreak havoc with their masterful karaoke skills. Watch with your ears as they sneak around, make observations about their surroundings, and encounter the evilly flamboyant Antioch Blooddare. It’s our first live episode, Base Heads! Get into it! Bonus: Overlord Skull Bludgeon sings Hazy Shade of Winter at the end. Party.

This episode of the working artist features the human beatbox and social polymath, Shodekeh. He tells us how difficult it can be to get taken seriously, especially when the medium is beatboxing, and shares how his many varied projects have shaped him both as a person and an artist. He also demonstrates his awesome talent and skills, we reminisce over our days in a band together, and he treats us to an improv session with an audience member! Join our next live interview, every third Saturday of the month at the Windup Space! Artwork by Meg Peterson.

The second half of our first event features the co-founder of Stillpointe Theatre, Danielle Robinette. She tells us about her support system growing up (it’s probably not who you think) and why she decided to start her own theater company despite the doubt from her elders, with a wealth of funny, quotable lessons for our audience.  We showed this video of Stillepointe’s latest production of Sweeney Todd before the interview.

John Bennett is an actor in Baltimore. I got to know him back in the college years through his brother, Mike, who made short films & music videos with their friend Nikc Miller. They were known under the banner of Better Hollywood Productions, and John was a featured performer in most if not all of their projects. John still acts and currently hosts several shows in the city, including "Mondo Baltimore" (a night of bad movies and good drinks at the art friendly Windup Space) and "Expert of Nothing" (a comical trivia game show), and he's host of The Chuckwagon Revival podcast along with two friends across the country.John Bennett on TwitterThe Chuckwagon Revival Podcast - iTunes & TumblrMondo BaltimoreExpert of NothingA Selection of John's work in Better Hollywood Productions:Penis Reduction Full Infomercial (featuring Dan Tayag & Shawn C.

Recently, Patrick and John combined their powers to create the hilarious show Expert of Nothing.   Expert of Nothing is a monthly live show where contestants challenge their knowledge (or lack thereof) in a battle of wits to be Baltimore top know-it-all, where it's not what you know but how you flow on topics ranging from Astronomy to Zooey Deschanel.   As John describes it, it's like watching a “A guy in a bar who has no idea what he's talking about, but every reason to justify it.” The next show will be Sunday June 17th at The Windup Space in Baltimore. We also discuss a number of topics for this episode including, but not limited to: Dave Mustane's inability to read, David Blaine's greatest magic trick of all, meeting celebrities, the 90s obsession with polygons in virtual reality, radio theater of the mind, how Nintendo made bowling an even lazier sport, AND….it's official Mike Finazzo's album “Stupid Genius” is available via Josh's record label Better Robot Records on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify!?
