Notes from the costume designer and wardrobe supervisor --- Any parent – and anyone who has been parented in their lives – knows that keeping kids' clothes off the floor and free from stains is a full-time job.

How writer-director Aya Ogawa brings video game technology to the theatre --- At first glance, theatre and video games appear to represent polar opposite forms of entertainment.

He mostly casts his friends and family---though...
