We here in the CR office are all, in a word, short. Brian Trapp, the giant among us, tops out at three foot eight. Needless to say, we rely pretty heavily on Photoshop when posting images of ourselves. But in the spirit of those reveals where celebs appear proudly in unretouched-up photos without makeup, we …
Hey prospective subscribers or gifters of CR: we’re closing the office for the break on Thursday, so if you want an issue sent to your nearest and dearest sooner rather than later, hit our website in the next 48ish hours.
Hey, everybody, spread the word: We are actively seeking a talented illustrator for our graphic-play initiative. As followers of our blog already know, we are adapting Australian playwright Declan Greene’s Moth into a graphic novella as part of our tenth-anniversary celebration. Of course, a big part of the project is finding the right collaborator to work …

The Good: Subscribers can look for CR 10.2 to magically appear via the still sprightly and efficient United States Postal Service. The Wonderful: This issue kicks off our tenth-anniversary year and features the printed score …
