This play was commissioned by @clubbedthumb on February 14 of this year, was written in 3 weeks, was produced 3 months from its inception, and is now published by the new and exciting @firstandforemostbooks. TITANS: A CITY SYMPHONY, now available in print and for licensing!

Featuring essays from @buffalobailey and T Adamson, a talk with CT’s own Maria Striar + me, and @photo_by_baranova’s photos of our wonderful Summerworks production & cast (@brothers.julia @layanelwazani @benlanghorst @megan_lomax_ @irenesofialucio @sharinamartin @reynaldorey @m.arvelyn and @shannontyo), feat. @raphaelmishleratwork’s sets and @seethruuu’s lights and @nguyencostumes’s costumes. Gorgeous graphic design from Gabe Cooper and design consultancy by Jacob Cooper. PLUS a Youth Edition (a PG rated script from me?! Who’d have thunk it?!) for the high schoolers who hate 🧊. Thanks to Kyle and everyone at F+F! I hope more and more people will be able to see/read this show. by @jessejaehoon
