Neo-people power

I won't lie: There's often a lot of chaos at The Neo-Futurarium, between the 50-weeks-a-year show and the rotating cycle of prime-time shows. But times of focused productivity and peace do occur, usually when volunteers are around.

Mike Schramm, for example, comes by twice a week and helps out with whatever crazymaking tasks are afoot. (He recently went to L.A. for a videogame conference, and wrote about it here. Somehow his life includes private concerts by The Who and meeting the inventors of the game Rock Band. Who knew?)

Also: There's Sarah Winters, who helps out at Film Fest, and is also helping us with prep for our 20th Anniversary show in the spring. I asked her to write something about herself for the blog, and she wrote: Sarah Winters is seventeen. She was one of four winners of the 2007 Pegasus Playwrights Young Playwrights Festival, and since then theater has become exciting. She likes philosophy, noise pop bands, and doing the long and intense scene blocking for lightsaber fights. Unfortunately, no one will ever see them. This is Sarah:


Between these folks, TML volunteers, summer interns, and our never-endingly rocktastic board, we're running on a lot of free labor and goodwill 'round here.

It'd be cool if we also ran on this steampunk Stirling engine:

Why does that engine look strangely like the "Great Eye" in Castle Greyskull?

Or do I have Film Fest on the brain?

Also, I heart Sarah's assessment of herself. I wish I'd been cool at seventeen.
