and declarative statements, the intrepid employees of The Question

Blue Coyote’s “Conversation on Russian Literature Plus Three More Plays”

The New York Times just reviewed Blue Coyote’s newest production raving that “The silly and the serious sit side by side” revealing “a sensibility that is one part literary, two parts comic book.”

Kyle Ancowitz ’98 directed two of the plays and Carter Jackson ’98 appears as the Bolshevik Horde – a character who describes himself in an aside as “grimy and filthy,” with “a cockney accent for no apparent reason.”

Only twelve performances remaining!
