We're settling in for the holidays around OtB, but before we take a break we want to help get you primed for our first performance of 2011, Radosław Rychcik's In the Solitude of Cotton Fields. Read on for some quick tidbits about the artist and the show!

An Associate Editor at American Theatre magazine, Rob Weinert-Kendt ponders online video performance and productions in his personal blog.  He mentions NT Live, the Metropolitan Opera, and OntheBoards.tv.

His biggest question?

"I have to wonder: Why doesn't this happen more often with theater?" 

 What do you think?

This past weekend On the Boards was honored to be invited to help Seattle's Canlis family celebrate the notion of generosity on the occasion of their restaurant's 60th anniversary. We were proud to have the work of our organization and the contibutions of performing artists recognized as generous and community building. Crosscut posted a short article on the event.

We've got just the thing to brighten your holiday this year!  A lonely Christmas song by OtB alum Young Jean Lee.  

Some lyrics:

I wake up Christmas morning
No presents and no tree
No friends or neighbors calling
No loving family
I pour a bowl of cereal and turn on the TV
A hundred different channels
A hundred shows for me.
