Zigzag Rhae believes the Best Art is the kind of stuff that leaves you reeling in your seat as the curtain call ends; the credits finish rolling; the museum guard has to tell you that he’s sorry, but they’re closing… The house lights are up, but you’re still sitting there, frozen, like you were shot with a dart-gun, paralyzed in all your faculties except your mind which is running a million miles an hour. The book that you’re holding is trapped in mid-air on the very last page, your eyes rereading every single digit of the ISBN number in the back because you just don’t want it to be over. Zigzag says they love art the most when the end leaves them mourning & craving… & maybe a little confused.
That is why Zigzag created the Spacetime Traveling Theatre Collective. The STTC encapsulates audiences inside all-immersive spectacles that grant once-in-a-lifetime LIVE experiences. Join Zigzag this April-June as the STTC collaborates with Coos Bay Exotic Arts to build an Interactive Theatrical Spacetime Traveling Cruise-Ship Cabaret Adventure Production, complete with robots, aliens, cyborgs, spacetime creatures, & inter-dimensional beings.

The Captain’s Clothes
Look at Captain Biscuits,
in his fuzzy little sweater;
the same color as his fur,
with a zipper at the front
that slides down
sometimes--
Through the space
in the unzipped v-neck collar,
it looks like he has fluffy chest hair--
little wispy apricot feathers
popping out
like he’s some 1980’s rockstar…
He doesn’t even know
how silly & cute he looks
he doesn’t even care;
he’s warm.

J.K.
Everyone knows Bukowski's mean.
All he did was write angry shit.
He was a grumpy old minsogynst,
yet, I love him.
But rolling stone Rowling Rowling:
My jury's still out on you.
I guess you did us a favor, though:
You taught us never to put anyone on a pedestal.
I dk if you are jk, JK,
but,
Whether inadvertently, or secretly-on-purpose (all Dumbledore-style, like we'd expect ya to)---
you added an asterisk next to your name.
Looking down at the bottom of
the proverbial page*,
We engage with others to share your stories;
Opening now with a conversation.
The joke's on you, trans-phobe:
Only those who are compelled to pass on your books,
Learned the lessons that you taught us:
Love is the most powerful magic of all.
In the epic tale we grew up next to,
you preach of love & acceptance, second-chances & redemption, protection of the weak &
to fight for good.
So with love for others,
we distribute your tales, your teachings
& even those heart-wrenching Twitter musings of yours---
Your confusing uncharacteristic qualities are a part of your books now too.
The necessary-asterisk-conversation,
Ironically, for you,
will lead to a more open-minded generation.
So, I guess that means that you
can now,
*Pass the Buk.
Hire me to write
*Choose your Own Adventure Tales
Hire me to read
*Personalized Readings
*You to Sleep
May I never ever ever be more than five feet away from a working ink pen.
again.
