one of the stranger emails i’ve had occasion to write to my co-workers:

Ladies of the MTC Staff —

Please save and bring in your empty tampon boxes so that Seren can assemble them into a prop. (In the 3rd act in BOOM, Jo walls off her “territory” of the set by building a wall of tampon boxes). It’s better not to flatten the box if possible. There’ll be a box in my office where you can drop them off. A variety of brands is desirable, which is why we’re collecting actual boxes instead of mocking up fakes. We need them by the end of this week.

Thanks!

J

best response so far:

it takes a village to build a play. apparently, a village of menstruating women.
