Who has control of your daily life? And how often does this endless killing—the kind that dismembers multiple people at the single press of a button—occur each day while we go about our routine schedules? This insightful production runs until Sunday, April 24 at the Sugar Space Arts Warehouse. … read more

Calm, collected and seemingly reserved, Sterrett is a woman with some pretty forward ideas.

Generally, these hangouts don’t equate to much other than high scores on Mario Kart, but Dine Krew took their adolescent experiments and ideas and painted that shit gold, so to speak. … read more
