MAKE IT SO

Yesterday was tough. I haven’t been away from New Orleans for Mardi Gras day one time since 2004. That’s 22 years. The past couple months have been a blur. I’ve mainly concerned myself with staying sane, healing my body, and working on DEAD END BOYS. Like BALLAD, it’s a New Orleans novel, and I hope that being away from the city for a while will give me greater insight into the place, its people, its culture. Still, it’s not easy to be so far away during Carnival.

PERVIRGIN!!!

A few years back, Nkechi Chibueze wrote, produced and starred in a one-woman show called PERVERGIN. The show was about her experience of being a thirty-five-year-old “Supervirgin” who had never been so much as kissed. Beginning on January 22, she’ll be debuting an updated version of her show at the Hopkins Black Box Theater at LSU in Baton Rouge.
