Plank Talk at Neanderthal Arts Festival: The List

Shane Birley
The List

Plank sat down with France Perras and Riel Hahn. They talk about the show, the unique script, and how it got from the page to the small kitchen in the basement of The Cultch.

A Site-Specific Tale of Everyday

To be a wife and a mother living in the country is what she always wanted and what she has achieved. No longer comfortable in her situation, she rebels against her daily list of chores, only to find that she neglected to take care of one task in particular, an oversight that may have led to her neighbor's death.

Awesome window reviews!

And one more time, our wickedly cool Riel Hahn digs deep where other interviewers will not go.  She pulls back the onion skin layers of information (unless they were eaten on stage) and delivers to us this Plank Talk of amazingness.

Dave Deveau: He Really Is As Cute As He Looks

The dazzling Riel Hahn has again blessed us with a Plank Talk.  This time around, she spoke with Dave Deveau, the up and coming playwright and lounge singer.  (Well, perhaps not the lounge singing career but with all of the background noise on this video, it could have been what he said, sorry about that, Dave.)  

The Plank Talkers chat it up about Tiny Replicas and make fun of the camera guy.  There is also a few tidbits in here that you may not know about Dave.  You should watch and find out.
