A play a day gets Roe in play

Los Angeles Times: "Galeen Roe admits there are times when rushing from her job as a downtown law librarian to stick-shift her 1999 Chevy Prizm through traffic to make an 8 p.m. theater curtain leaves her feeling grumpy.

But Roe also confesses to a certain compulsion when it comes to not missing any concert, play or performance art piece she can possibly get to. 'That's what I do, I go to see bands in Tijuana, or to see a play wherever,' says the effervescent 35-year-old, who lives with two cats in Los Feliz. 'My parents are like: 'I think there's a show in Boston -- if you leave now, you'll make it.' '

So it comes as no surprise that, after a chance introduction to playwright Suzan-Lori Parks' yearlong, nationwide theater festival '365 Plays/365 Days,' Roe would decide she had to attend every single play."

I just can't help but wonder if these plays will be any good. Additionally, its easy to lose the shelf life of a piece when its written with a very specific time slot in mind.
