Gigi Tisminetzky guest blogs for BroadwayWorld about bringing How To Kill A Chicken to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A young girl embarks on her dream holiday, learning to surf and going horseback riding on deserted beaches. She falls in love with her surf instructor - it's the quintessential cliché of a holiday sex-fuelled romance. This dreamlike retelling is accompanied by a cellist whose music sings, weeps and laughs, becoming a character in its own right. Together, they reveal the raw truth of the female experience: even in paradise, things are never as wonderful as they seem.

BWW caught up with Ally Ibach on bringing Midnight Cowboy Radio to the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. How did you first get involved in the world of theatre?. My godmother (who is famously only thirteen years older than me) has always been my biggest supporter and inspiration! She was a performer and I used to watch her in productions and she would take me to plays - It was my favourite thing to do with my favourite person! These productions included an egregiously bloody local high school production of Julius Caesar that scarred me for life. Somehow, I still got involved in theatre anyway. From there, I caught “the acting bug” at a community theatre in Delaware and have been performing ever since!

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.
