August, 2006. The Second Lebanon War reaches a feverish pitch of aerial bombings as we we eavesdrop on Myriam and Gilad, unwilling adversaries united by the crackling line of a telephone call.

With the clock ticking down on a literal deadline, twenty-two minutes will decide the fate of one soldier’s conscience... And one woman’s life.

KPFA ran a feature on 22 Minutes Remaining with myself and Festival Artistic Director Torange Yeghiazarian last year as part of their literature and culture series, "Cover to Cover", at 3pm at 94.1 FM.

The Award Exhibit for the Arte di Gesso chalk muralists featured at the 54th Annual North Beach Festival runs from October 27, 2008 to November 8, 2008.

Sponsored by the North Beach Chamber of Commerce and produced by Arte Del Leone, the two week show is hosted at Kevin Brown’s Live Worms Gallery at 1345 Grant Street. Live Worms is now open from 11am to 9pm daily, selling prints, drawings, paintings, and “vegan taxidermy” (sculpted paper birds, for the squeamish - cash or check only).

Known for their ephemeral pastel chalk paintings, handmade on neighborhood sidewalks and parking spaces, the chalk artists’ more permanent works are showcased in the mediums of sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, costumes, and theatre.

A reception for the artists will be held on Thursday, October 30th, from 6pm to 10pm, with live music on the evenings of Oct. 30th and November 7th courtesy of the two-man traveling acoustic junk band frontJunk.

On November 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th , and 8th Live Worms Gallery will host the Fourth Annual New Plays in North Beach Series, premiering original work by contemporary local playwrights Samantha Chanse, Adam Chanzit, Christopher Chen, and Ignacio Zulueta.
