A La Carte (7/31)

A La Carte Collection cover image

Yelp Reviews – This is a brilliant little video that highlights the absurdity of life in this modern, digital world where we take seriously the ability to review everything we do and experience. Here a professional actor simply reads a review, but does it beautifully.

A Merciful God – This is a powerful post that was written in the aftermath of the shootings in Colorado. It was written by someone who was in the theatre.

—John Calvin
