Hello there. This is Perishable Theatre’s Development Intern, Jay M. I am a student in the MFA Performance and Society Program at Rhode Island College and a resident of Providence. I regret to inform you that Mulchie is no longer with us. He was carried off by a California condor the other day. Don’t ask me to explain how that happened or what a condor was doing in Rhode Island. The point is that Mulchie is gone and I will be taking over the newsletter. So break out your calendars and mark this stuff down.
DISPOSABLE MEN
This show is created and performed by HERE Arts Resident Artist James Scruggs. The performance runs March 29th thru April 1st.
