Tonight is Opening for TEMPESTUOUS ELEMENTS at Arena Stage in D.C. I'm really proud of the work everyone has done - the cast & crew, director, designers. The actors received standing ovations for all 6 previews! The show will run through Mar 17th. https://t.co/WZMVNVTYku

Tonight is the 1st performance of TEMPESTUOUS ELEMENTS at Arena Stage. An article about the play and me is now available in MARYLAND TODAY, e-published by my alma mater, the University of Maryland, College Park. https://t.co/WAxnV1Wp86

No Christmas in Bethlehem this year - the birthplace of Jesus Christ, in the Occupied West Bank. Peace to All. https://t.co/Gc1c1Sz8GH

These beautiful elder women of Jewish Voice for Peace chained themselves to the White House steps during Hanukkah to call for a CEASEFIRE. @JvpAction https://t.co/3XqRT6NZs1

@luxlotus @KCorthron @Sam_Sacks @WSJBooks I will definitely need to get a copy of this. I’m loving her writing & storytelling.

Super excited to read this epic from the massively talented @KCorthron. Pub’d by @7StoriesPress.

20 years ago I met Iman Aoun who runs Ashtar Theatre on the West Bank. They've assembled THE GAZA MONOLOGUES, testimonies by Gaza youth, and NY's Noor Theatre will be streaming it this Wed Nov 29th, 7:30 EST. Please tune in! @AshtarTheatre @NoorTheatre https://t.co/MffpCiEFdr

Thank you @SenJeffMerkley for your unequivocal call for ceasefire, the release of hostages, & an end to the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza.

Senator Merkley is the second senator to support a #CeasefireNOW.

The pressure is working! Keep calling your reps to take moral action.

[Kia Corthron @KCorthron]

I'm very proud to have contributed to this poetic cento calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Please read! (Probably no more than 2 minutes to do so.) https://t.co/EZqUejPEBo

If you want a ceasefire on Gaza, please call your congressional reps. (Every day, if you can!) https://t.co/SeNUYuSPYW
