Pie Play for radio!
This is the podcast of the Sex and Politics radio version of my play A GOOD DAY 2 PIE. It was originally broadcast (and then put on the S&P Pod Site) in the Summer of 2012. Although we are doing a theater production of the play this weekend, that will be a shortened version that […]
Another Occupy Bull Connor Moment–Carmen Pittman tasered
Carmen Pittman, an Occupy Atlanta activist who was part of a group of protesters in front of Eric Holder’s Justice Department, was tasered by Capitol police today. For over a year, she and her family fought an attempt by Chase to foreclose on her grandmother’s house. She’s one of a group of activists who were […]
December 20, A BIG PROJECT and my small bit
International Day of Peace: This is a big project by the United Nations Artists For Peace –a day of livestreaming (and not-so-livestreaming) in support of peace, social justice and equality. It’s such a big project, that’s what they call it: A BIG PROJECT. Lots of music, the occasional speech, some dance/movement. And then there’s me. So […]
The Presidential Campaign and Occupy
Lots of fireworks at WBCR last night, when the crew for Sex And Politics had a mini-debate starting at 5:15 around the issues of foreign policy that were going to be the topics for the last Presidential Debate later that evening. We had a really lively discussion about women’s rights and birth control, and my […]
Enough politics! Time for Artsy-Fartsy!!
Okay, I’ve been writing too much about politics lately. This is a site about arts and culture and the Occupy movement, and although I do my best to illuminate that discussion, it occurs to me I should… share something fun. A couple of months ago, I was asked to write a Subway Monologue for the […]
Sister Anne Montgomery Presente
This is in prayer for Sister Anne Montgomery, who passed earlier this week. I had met Sister Anne numerous times when I was working on my plays about the Plowshares movement. She was a tiny, frail woman who had the heart of a lion. And her friends in the Plowshares movement lionized her. Anne Montgomery […]
We interrupt this blog… REVIEWS ARE IN!
Reviews of our performances at the Brooklyn Peace Fair earlier this year. We performed the plays A CLOWN, A HAMMER, A BOMB, AND GOD and A GOOD DAY 2 PIE. An excerpt (SPOILER ALERT): …playwright and performer Dan Kinch performing his one-person piece, “A Clown, a Hammer, a Bomb and God,” part of his Occupy the Empire tour. […]
“I am Agent Strawberry of the Biotic Baking Brigade…”

With my special tuber tazer and my invincible Tart Classique, I am unstoppable. I will stop the forces of ANTI-Nature in their Gucci-footprinted […]
Kathleen Stansell and A GOOD DAY 2 PIE dance piece
This is a really amazing dance piece Kathleen put together based on my play. Agent Strawberry of the Biotic Baking Brigade takes on the evil Monsanto corporation for attacking the world’s food supply. I wrote some introductory lines as a jumping-off. Presented at the Muse space in Williamsburg Brooklyn.
Occupy Tampa?
Greetings. It’s sticky warm here in my corner of Brooklyn, and a trip to the grocery provides real sticker shock. Forget the gamed stats from the BLS–if you count inflation to include things like food and energy, we’re bubbling along at around 10%. In the last few years, Peanut butter (a household staple) has advanced […]
