| One of my favorite plays to direct, The Eight is a dark, dark Christmas comedy about sexual assault. "Scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa's eight tiny reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment. As mass media descends upon the event, the other members of the sleigh team demand to share their perspectives, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerges, which seems to implicate everyone from the littlest elf to the tainted Saint himself." This play is intelligent and brilliantly funny as it cuts to the heart of the issues surrounding sexual assault, fame, and media frenzy. The Critics agree: "witty... tantalizing... highly recommended!" --The Chicago Reader "Wickedly funny" --Los Angeles Times "Hard-hitting in-your-face black comedy" --Evening Post, Wellington, New Zealand For more info visit www.jeffgoode.com |

| Keane Under The Iron Sea In the vacuous landscape of popular culture and the war zone of civilization where our lives, time, and human spirit are mined and burned up in the furnaces of progress, Keane is an oasis, a vibrantly alive siren song calling us back home to ourselves and lifting our hearts up to beat with the necessity of truth and soar among the stars. These boys make a beautiful noise! I highly recommend all their music. Visit Keane here and take a listen. |

| The Journey of Tunuri and the Blue Deer, by James Endredy, is a Huichol Indian Story that beautifully introduces children to our family in nature - Father Sun, Mother Earth, Brother Wind, Sister Water - and all that they share with the peoples of this planet. Teaching our children about their relationship with the natural world is not only of primary importance to the survival of our own and every other species, but also essential for our children's healthy mental, emotional, and physical growth, and sense of connection and responsibility to others in their community and landbase. Richly illustrated with traditional Huichol yarn drawings, this empowering and enchanting tale is lovely for children and adults alike.
