The Visit of the Old Woman," a tragi-comedy by Friedrich Dürrenmatt presented in Kosovo in late July of 2009. "The Visit" is a classic tale of bitterness, greed, corruption and democracy. Our production was a collaboration between Catastrophic Theatre (Houston, TX), the Mitrovica Cultural Center and local NGOs Blackbird Books and Art & Media. Two dozen artists from Mitrovica and the wider region presented performances of "The Visit" in Mitrovica on July 24, 25 and 26, and in Pristina on July 31 and August 1.

Clown Town was a gala to raise money for Catastrophic Theater, a Houston play company. The whole street in front of Last Concert Cafe was blocked off and turned into Clown Town. Me and Flakey got in as members of Keith Reynold's entourage. We stood up on the stage and help keep his keyboard from sliding off the stand. I was the "Good and Plenty" clown...i passed out Good and Plenty candy to all the boys and girls.

it was our job to stand on stage and stabilize Keith's keyboard, and also bring the keyboard down at one point so Keith could play it with his butt.
