No Headliner

By Kellen Beck May 6, 2015
Applause and cheers shimmer around the room. Regardless of success, regardless of quality, regardless of laughs, heckles or silence, everyone at the Ithaca Stand-Up Comedy Open Mic claps.

Welcome to the Monkey House

By Jodi Silberstein May 6, 2015
Twenty-six high school students stand in a circle. Noah places himself in the center and calls for a shake down. Doing their best to keep their voices low, the students shake each limb one at a time counting down 10 to one, then starting over from nine to one, eight to one, and so on.

Handsome, not fancy

By Emily Hull May 6, 2015
The room smells strongly of wood. Not a particular type, but a mix of many. Every surface is covered with layers of dust. The dust varies. Some are golden flakes; others resemble a reddish confectioners’ sugar, while some are splintered, ideal for kindling.
