Just bought my ticket for next Saturday's Met HD simulcast, a 5.5 hour opera mega-event! I can't wait. It's my 2nd favorite opera, and this is as close to seeing it live as I'm going to get.

The Deemer Interview
Charles Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University. He is a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and pioneer in hyperdrama. He was the editor of Oregon Literary Review and the artistic director of Small Screen Video.
"Having written almost daily for over 40 years, I can say that writing is not a job or a vocation or a profession--it is an existence. It is a way of being in the world."
