  Come and listen to one of the most famous collaborations of early twentieth century Czech literature, "The Insect Play, or Ad Infinitum." 
  Come and see how many similarities The Brothers Čapek draw between our problems, our beliefs, and our struggles with the lives of the very critters that walk beneath our feet. Join our inebriated narrator as he witnesses the world of the insects become larger than life--how the butterflies attempt to woo the other sex, how dung beetles work and work to get their nest egg ready for... someday, and how the ants make it their mission to conquer all of the land between one blade of grass and another--all in the name of democracy. A truly surreal and remarkable experience that you won't want to miss, this three act play will stick with you long after its initial runtime.

  mahogany takes its name from the dark wood prized for its durability, workability, and elegant look, and from the Diana Ross movie, whose theme song asks if what lies ahead is what you really want. This book is the third in a trilogy, and like the first two books it is steeped in pop music. Each poem here takes its title from a line of a Diana Ross and The Supremes song, as well as songs from Diana Ross' solo career. Short lines flow down the page like postmodern psalms, connecting dailyness to timelessness, merging the historical and the beloved through reverence for family, music, and the life we actually live. mahogany is a lament for the passing of time and unimaginable loss, and at the same time it models the daily search for joy, and the deep shine that can arise from the darkest times.[sample poem]i'm like a woman who once knew splendor*sometimes i feel like the pink pantherall naked and pinklost in the morass ofdo the best you can todayand nigga heal thy selfour end of winterspirits breaklike old tibetan snowi rememberyou was conflictedand i found myself alonehere on my ancient hurtthe disquieting humof living historydear god, pleaseput my head above my heartwe can only be togetherif the stories are toldplain facesame instrumentjust a couple of coke bottlesfull of gasolinelike god and rainis a waste of timemy mother used to clean housesas a childsome days i can barelyget out of bedin my mindshe's like diana rossscrubbing the white lady's stairsin lady sings the bluesexcept prettierand with green eyesi've just been livingoff of cough dropsand water and angerjust sitting in the whole foodsparking lot eating pineapplei am literallythe definition of "hot mess"pain changes everythingsomebody comeand pick upmy limp bodyoff the groundi am dyinga slow ohio deathwe miss you starmanit's our first sunrise of the burn* "dark side of the world"erica lewis

  The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman is a gripping and thought-provoking play that delves into the destructive power of lies and societal prejudice. Set in an all-girls boarding school, the story follows Karen Wright and Martha Dobie, two dedicated teachers whose lives are upended when a vengeful student, Mary Tilford, fabricates a shocking accusation against them. The malicious lie not only jeopardizes their school but also exposes the fragility of their reputations and relationships in a judgmental society. First performed in 1934, the play examines themes of morality, truth, and the devastating consequences of unchecked rumors. A timeless exploration of human behavior, The Children's Hour remains a powerful critique of societal norms and the cost of prejudice.
