Description: "A Los Angeles-based play, Guide Dogs rejects the triad of smog, traffic, and earthquakes for an exploration of reading and interpretation through civic unrest at city hall, the texts of LA figures (literary critic Marjorie Perloff and social critic Mike Davis), and the "Lightning Field" by Walter de Maria. Some Cars, an embodiment, holds out against "the architecture of containment," inflecting the hard surface of Kienholz's art in a drive to uncover tragic action deferred through a small windshield, imperfectly. Speech Acts with Trees is an inside-out Western that takes apart "narrow specializations with commanding views," landscape tradition and conquest. Is a parable of sacrifice an obsolete railroad by the time conventional knowledge sets up shop in the "new" town? Are these Three Plays really one play along a topological fold?" --
