When he’s not writing music\, Winter enjoys riding his bike\, making not-your-mother’s Rice Krispie treats\, playing with puppies\, and eating all of the pizza and donuts and ice cream. \n  \nPhotograph by Jennifer Koltun\nVICTORIA LIBERTORE is a performer\, writer\, teacher\, emcee and curator.  She is the creator of seven solo shows: Camille: The Forgotten Artist\, stalk(her)\, The Should Dream\, My Journey of Decay\, GIRL MEAT\, No Need for Seduction and This Is My Last Attempt At Fame.  She has collaborated with Jennifer Tuttle\, Ryan Kipp\, Leigh Fondakowski\, Rosalie Purvis\, Jen-Scott Mobley\, Shelley Butler-Hyler\, Ryan Migge\, Rebecca Feldman\, Kimberly I.

That is until further questioning. But aren’t we all kind of making it up as we go along? Speaking of made up things\, Parrish tends to write nonfiction. Although he is also a playwright because he likes putting words into other people’s mouths. He is a writer\, essayist\, playwright\, occasional cook\, and lover of terrible gay films. His credits include Lambda Literary Fellow in Nonfiction in 2014 and four year participant in the Georgia Southern Ten-Minute Play Festival. He currently works in children’s publishing during the day and attends the New School in the evening for an MFA which will probably get him nowhere. But it did help him get out of Georgia\, so there’s that. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
