Thinking about queuing up for those first-come-first-served pillow seats to the otherwise sold-out run of Cankerblossom?

“Whimsy exists in Beth Nixon’s world even when she’s washing dishes, chatting on the phone with a complete stranger. Such were the circumstances surrounding our interview on Wednesday, and yet we still entered a world with anteaters aboard buses, otherworldly childbirth and donkeys making tea.”
