"Helltown Buffet" Needs A Set Designer

I've never had such high turnover with a play as I have with this one. And most are due to cancer-related issues.World premiere play "Helltown Buffet" in Santa Ana, CA is looking for a Set Designer/Builder. More info on the play at rgasian.blogspot.com. This is a bit of an emergency for a premiere that has been pushed back a week to September 20. I'm looking for a very quick design. We need to finalize the design by September 1, if not sooner. I need it so soon because I'll need to reblock the play around your design. I'm looking for a quick build: done with a usable basic structure by first week of September. (While finishing would be nice by then, it can wait until the week before opening.) You pretty much have the theater free all day except during our rehearsals from 6:30pm-10pm. All of Labor Day is also free, since that was originally scheduled for the build. Weekends are generally not free except for a couple of exceptions. I can send you a more specific schedule. Please send resume and/or portfolio to the address on the website: rgasian.blogspot.com. This is a low-budget build. But there is a $100 stipend for the designer.

Jason has schizophrenia

Since late April, I've been suffering from the disease. I started treatment in early August and have felt the best, mentally speaking, that I have my whole life.

More on the "Tears for Fears" post

I hate the cover version of "Mad World" from "Donnie Darko". I thought the song was ok, and then had a "Tears for Fears"gasm when I heard the original.

More griping about the terrible nature of covers of 80s songs to come later.

I played with Len Wein and Robert Skir, and an online writer named Peter Svensson.

I can stand to be corrected on the names.
