Continued brainrot about an anxious S/O sending the OG captains off to the Quincy battle! Part 1 here | My own OC here

CAPTAIN OF THE 7TH DIVISION :: SHIGYOU NOBUTSUNA

-- Decaying nobility, morbid paleness spreading a miasma of unease

The thump of a sword hitting the wooden floor wouldn’t have normally startled you, but news of the Quincy invasion has provided new challenges for your nerves. You can feel the weight of Nobutsuna’s gaze on you as you jump, but you quickly steady yourself. Weakness is definitely not a desirable trait, especially not in the Shigyou household.

“I will execute all of our enemies and deliver justice onto those who invades Soul Society,” Nobutsuna states bluntly and clearly, hands folded on top of the hilt of his sword. You raise an eyebrow at this - rarely does he voice his thoughts on his principles and beliefs, but apparently this is an occasion that calls for it.

“I rest my faith in you, Nobutsuna-sama.”

CAPTAIN OF THE 8TH DIVISION :: KATORI BATSU’UNSAI

-- Innocence at first glance, a swift butchering delivered without mercy

Batsu’unsai’s aura of innocence makes many let down their guard due to their initial assessment of her as someone who has accidentally wandered onto the battlefield, eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Little do they know her proficiency with her weapon - rarely do her enemies realise it was her blade that slices them into clean pieces that fall onto the floor like slabs of meat.

And it’s with this faith in her abilities that you linger at the doorway as she turns around, a small smile on her face, as if she was heading out for a walk. “________, I’ll be off then, okay?”

“See you, Batsu-chan,” You reply in the same tone, giving her a small wave. The smile widens in return of your affection, but her expression shifts as the sunlight catches on her glasses - when the light obscures her eyes, something sinister flickers on her features. “Stay safe, alright?”

“Oh, don’t worry, I will.”

CAPTAIN OF THE 9TH DIVISION :: KUMOI ENTETSU

-- A tall and imposing sentry, unmoving and threatening like jagged rock

“You do understand that there’s no reason for me to get rid of the bloodstains when you’ll just stain it with the blood of your enemies again, right, Entetsu?” Slightly annoyed, you hand his newly bequeathed white haori to him, a piece of clothing that came with his new title. The man merely opens his mouth slightly at you - the golden teeth fastened on his lips serve as a perpetual and unnerving grin. Despite your complaints, he knows you don’t really mind - it’s proof of his ability on the battlefield, and the bloodstained legacy he bears.

Shrugging it on, Entetsu picks up his sword - already in shikai form, and you swallow at the sight of it. Despite the number of times you’ve seen it in its released form, the fact that it resembles a club still unnerves you. Then again, his whole appearance serves to do the same.

“I’ll try to spare you the chore tonight, __________.” And that’s the end of it - no loving words, no reassurances, a comment so common and casual that it would’ve been part of your regular conversations. Entetsu promptly turns and leaves, also bringing the threat of death with himself.

CAPTAIN OF THE 10TH DIVISION :: OUTOGAWA FURUOKI

-- Unwavering stature of nobleness, sternness maintained even in face of death

Furuoki has never really been a man of many words, preferring to replace them with his music - something you’ve always found ironic, him dressing himself as a man of art rather than of blade - and he refuses to make an exception even as he may be marching to his death.

“Don’t tell me you’re bringing your hat to the battlefield as well, Furuoki.” The comment, clearly made in sarcasm, manages to make the corner of his lips tug up slightly, almost as if he’s restraining himself, stopping himself from laughing - but otherwise, he maintains his stern expression. You let out a small exhale, wanting to make the mood more light-hearted, but of course, not to be.

“Are you going to say anything, or will you go without any last words?” You raise an eyebrow. Normally, acting like this would hardly make him happy - in fact, acting out like this usually makes him irritated, but in the face of an enemy invasion, you could hardly care about his preference for righteousness and proper conduct when this may very well be the last time you see him.

“Stop being ridiculous - you’re overthinking.” Those are the only words he leaves you with, before he promptly walks off. A thin smile spreads your lips - typical, as always. Even in face of death.

CAPTAIN OF THE 11TH DIVISION :: UNOHANA YACHIRU

-- A spider lily from the depths of the underworld, death blooming in her wake

Yachiru is so beautiful when she’s stationary, standing like this and staring at you with those soulless eyes of hers - arguably more beautiful than when she’s on the battlefield, killing foes and allies alike mercilessly with the quick flash of her blade. She stares at you, and any words that you want to say die on the tip of your tongue, because really, what could you say (and honestly, what right do you even have to say anything) to the woman who’s known as the most merciless killer in the entirety of Soul Society?

Small wonder she has yet to murder you. You suspect the only thing keeping you around is your wits, and the fact that she has yet to be bored in your presence.

Picking up her blade - polished and without blood, fruit of your efforts - and sliding it carefully into her scabbard, she steadies the weapon strapped to her waist. There was a period of silence between you two, where unspoken words were exchanged through glances that were perfected throughout the years, before you step forward tentatively. Yachiru lets you, her eyes never leaving your actions, watching you attentively like predator stalking her prey.

Except, you have no overt intentions aside from picking up her hand. Years of battle has honed her instincts, and she reacts reflexively, but you wait - and Yachiru lets you clasp her hand in yours eventually, before raising it to your lips, and brushing the skin almost heart-breakingly tenderly with a kiss.

Then the moment fades, and she’s gone like the wind, the only evidence of your goodbye gift a tingling on your lips from the sheer amount of reiatsu she exudes.

CAPTAIN OF THE 12TH DIVISION :: UHIN ZENJOUJI

-- Overdressed corpulence, visual aposematism accentuating venom

The moment Zenjouji had been given news of his current appointment, he had jeered at the irony of the entire situation - a sentiment that had not passed you by either, to be frank. “Yamamoto Genryusai gathering a band of murderers to defend Seireitei? Even the punchline of a well-written joke wouldn’t have been as funny!”

And it was with that same sense of sentiment as you watch him applying the paint to his face - a mask of sorts, but also resembling war paint, strangely; a routine of sorts - before he heads to the battlefield. “You’re not going with this seriously, are you?”

Zenjouji looks at you like you’re being ridiculous - which you suppose you are, having known the man for such a long time. “Are ya kiddin’ me? ‘Course I ain’t! I’ll go and smash some heads together and call it a day!”

As expected, really.

CAPTAIN OF THE 13TH DIVISION :: SAKAHONE SAIZOU

-- A wandering corpse of shaken bones, rattling death in graves borne in his wake

“I don’t understand why Genryusai-dono asked you, Saizou-dono,” You state flatly, standing in front of his katana, which was propped on the shelf behind your back. “You may have been formidable in your prime, but you’re well past that now.”

He grins toothily at you - meant to be menacing, you’re sure, but not now, and especially not in this context. “Regardless of what you think, _________, Yamamoto has asked me. And so I’ll answer.”

“Whatever for?” You retort. You aren’t afraid of losing him to battle - Sakahone Saizou was more than capable of holding his ground. Or at least, that was what you told yourself. Secretly, you worry - given his current state and age, you aren’t so sure anymore. “Pride?”

Before you were aware of the fact, Saizou had already retrieved his weapon that you thought you had barred him from. “Merely for igniting these old bones of mine, __________.”

"middle of nowhere"

When I moved here two years ago from the metropolitan area, a woman in a shop said to me. "How dare you came all the way to the middle of nowhere?" I think she said it as a welcome which means "Welcome, although there's nothing to see here," but I felt a little sorry for the "middle of nowhere" that people said to me like that.

Certainly, there are many famous popular cities like Kyoto, but if you think about it, there are far more cities, towns, villages, etc. whose names you've never heard of, and you would say, "Where is that?" For some of them, you don't know how to read, or even for a town in the prefecture where you live, you may not know much about the location or what is there.

Having moved to one of those "middle of nowhere," I have a new hobby. Walking. The "nothingness" means that there are open landscapes nearby that you don't see in the city and that is an enjoyable factor for walking. And because I am able to see farther, my eyesight has improved. When I walk in such places, I discover many things. Even when walking along the same path, the "middle of nowhere" takes on a different look depending on the time of day and the season. When I take pictures of those looks, I notice something. Is this the "middle of nowhere"? There's a lot of stuff here!

There are people who live, study at school, or work, even though here is the "middle of nowhere." Every day at dusk, the houses are lit up, and the chimneys of the factories along the coast are constantly emitting white smoke. Windmills for offshore wind power generation are also spinning. When I see them on the way home from Tokyo on the highway, I feel at home. My favorite place is the place where I live now. I love the fact that even in such "middle of nowhere," there are people going about their daily lives.

I am sure that every place has its own beautiful scenery. Even in places that many people think are "empty," there should be always something there. If you didn't really like where you live now, why not take a little walk today and find it?

Kamisu City (Ibaraki, JAPAN)

Green Park behind City Hall, with a 4.4-km-long pond with more than 10 species of wild birds.

Wind Power Kamisu No. 1 offshore wind farm; Kamisu City is the site of Japan's first full-scale offshore wind farm. Visitors can enjoy the scenery on an empty beach.

Ikisu Shrine. Together with Kashima Jingu Shrine (Kashima City, Ibaraki Prefecture) and Katori Jingu Shrine (Katori City, Chiba Prefecture), they are called the three shrines of the East. Kashima Jingu Shrine and Katori Jingu Shrine are about a 20-minute drive from Ikisu Shrine. These three shrines share a common amulet, which is completed by purchasing a wooden amulet for the main body at one shrine and purchasing stickers of different colors from the other two shrines and affixing them to the main body (the sticker from the first shrine is already attached).

The scenery changes with the seasons. In winter, there is no greenery and the whole area looks like a desolate desert.

Nasaka Sunset Township Park, a sunset spot that even the locals rarely visit.

The scenery looks similar for a moment to a scene I encountered in England??

●For those of you who kindly have read this far and are interested in Kamisu City, Kamisu City's character, Kamisukoko-kun, at the link below shows you where Kamisu City is located in a very easy-to-understand way (His head is in the shape of Ibaraki Prefecture, and he is telling you that Kamisu City is here. "koko" of "Kamisukoko" means "here" in Japanese.). By the way, his favorite food seems to be nata de coco.

カミスココくんプロフィール / 茨城県神栖市 (city.kamisu.ibaraki.jp)

●A place that hardly anyone pays attention to is glistening in the sunlight. This music makes you feel even more enlivened when you walk in such places.

A Trip to the Countryside

Dragon Raja Fanfic

Paring: Chisei Gen x Lyris (MC)

Summary: Chisei took Lyris to his hometown and spent a the day together.

(From Chisei Gen’s in game messages.)

Word count: 1800+

This work is a part of Allies - a series based on in game text messages, letters or moments by Allies themselves.

For @soul-dancer-lyris~ Hope you enjoy the story~

----------

Read more of my DR fanfic here: x

or on AO3: x

-------------------------------

The rain came and left in a haste, leaving a lingering smell of wet ground, mixed with roasted sweet potatoes.

The smell made Lyris hungry. Following the aroma, she found a small vending cart by a corner of Tokyo street. It was not her first time trying roasted sweet potatos, but the first time trying one from a cart. It was more delicious than she had expected! The warm roasted sweet potato made Lyris happy, especially in this kind of weather.

She decided to share that little happiness with someone, so she took out her phone in one hand, the other still held onto the bag of roasted sweet potatoes.

“Chisei Gen! Chisei Gen! Listen!”

The reply came almost immediately after the message was sent.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Lyris giggled to herself, or her gemini – the one that was floating around her. Chisei Gen replied so fast! He must have thought something had happened to her. That meant, he cared.

“Oh, nothing. There’s just someone selling delicious roasted sweet potatoes by Kabukicho!”

“Oh? Is there anything strange about that?”

“It’s different from where I came from. They sell roasted sweet potatoes in ovens made out of remodeled oil barrels.”

“You sound like some kind of expert.” Chisei seemed to be more relaxed with his reply. “I guess you like to eat roasted sweet potatoes.”

“I want to tell you about this because it’s so rare to see it.”

Lyris found a seat by the riverside while waaiting for Chisei’s reply. She sat down on a bench and gazed at the other part of the city, across the river. It was nighttime. All the city lights turned into stars. She thought of what Chisei would be doing at that moment, and felt thankful for his replies to her messages, despite the busy life of the High Patriarch.

“Have you done much traveling?” He asked.

“Yes, I like to travel outside the country when I have time.”

Lyris loved traveling. That was why she appeared in Tokyo, while she was supposed to stay in Cassell and do her essay. She thought a change of air would be nice. And another reason was that she wanted to see Chisei Gen.

“I admire that kind of life. I travel for business, but it’s mostly just to handle local affairs. I’m also quite busy with work, so I don’t have much time to take a vacation.”

Lyris let out a sigh as she was reading his text. Chisei was always, always busy. He seemed to work all the time when his eyes were open! She doubted he would actually rest at night. That guy was the man of work. He breathed in work.

But he had once or twice talked about his dream. Surprisingly, it was not becoming the most successful person in the world; nor bringing his clan to the most glorious days. He only wanted to be a sunscreen vendor, living his life freely somewhere in a French beach…

How could a High Patriarch, the Emperor of all Hydras have such a thought? People would laugh at his dream, and tell him to snap back to reality. But Lyris did not. She listened carefully to all his thoughts. To her, it was brave of Chisei to have that dream, and to keep it alive inside his heart even though the world told him to let go.

Lyris enjoyed another roasted sweet potato from the bag as they exchanged messages about how Chisei missed the beach in France. Her gemini sat beside her, teasing her for wanting to be there with him.

“This beach sounds like your first love. No wonder you’re so obsessed with it.” Lyris replied lightheartedly, with a snickering emote.

“Lyris, you must be joking! What do you mean, first love?”

A finger tapped on the phone screen repeatedly, Lyris was thinking of what to reply next. But another message came:

“Speaking of which, actually, I didn’t grow up in Tokyo.”

“Oh, really?” Lyris quickly replied.

“When I was a child, I lived in a small mountain village… But what about you, Lyris? Where did you grow up?”

“I’ve been in the city since I was born. I’ve never lived in the countryside.”

Lyris replied, but she wished she had lived in the countryside too. She wanted to know Chisei more, and to know about the life he had lived long before becoming the High Patriarch who only knew work.

Lyris stared at the phone screen. She took notice of the three dots popping up next to Chisei’s avatar, indicating that he was typing something. But long minutes passed by, the dots kept appearing and disappearing. She grew nervous. Would Chisei prefer girls from the countryside than city girls, like her?

But his next message was something she could not expect, “Would you like to go and see the village I lived in? The scenery is quite nice.”

Lyris was sent to the clouds! She stood up from the seat, with her phone held close to chest, and she started dancing around with her gemini.

“Is he asking me out? He must be asking me out!”

Lyris beamed and danced, ignoring the curious eyes of the passerby. She kept dancing until her gemini reminded that she had not replied to Chisei yet.

“Oops! How could I almost forget?!”

And she hastily sent him a message, “Of course! I’d love to!”

That night, Lyris danced with her gemini gleefully all the way back home.

***

On a sunny morning, Lyris dressed in her favorite blue floral dress that matched her eyes color and waited patiently by Tokyo street. With every car came in sight, she tip-toed, gazing at it with a fluttering heart.

Chisei arrived at last. He was wearing casual outfit; a white shirt and dark pants, black shoes, and even a pair of glasses. He was completely different from the every-day-High-Patriarch-Chisei-Gen. And that made Lyris’ heart beat too fast! As if it could jump right out of her chest and fall into Chisei’s hand when he stood there, reaching a hand out towards her. She could not help but sneak glances at him all the way to his hometown. Chisei caught her a few times. He only turned away and smiled to himself, which made her heart flutter even more.

Katori Town was not far from Tokyo. Lyris was excited, and a bit nervous. It was her first time being here, and she was with Chisei!

The view was very different from the city. Lyris took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air and the fragrance of grass. This place, it was beautiful, and it belonged to the young Chisei. Lyris turned around to look at him. His eyes spoke nostalgia, and she was thankful he had taken her to this place with him.

They decided to take a stroll in the forest. Lyris had so many things to ask, but she wanted Chisei to speak first, to open up first about his childhood.

“When I was a child, I lived here, in this village with green forests, flowing streams and hanging stoves in wooden houses. In the summers, I practiced holding my breath in the streams, and watched the fish swam past my eyes. In the snowy winters, I chiseled holes in the ice to catch fish, which I’d then cook into a soup… Those early years were the happiest in my life.”

They reached a small wooden house which seemed to be abandoned for so long. It was locked. Chisei gazed at it with an unspoken sadness in his eyes.

“Is this… your old house?” Lyris softly asked.

“Yeah.”

“I assume that you don’t want to come in…”

Chisei turned to look at Lyris. Though his face showed no emotion, his hazel eyes betrayed him.

“I’m sorry, Lyris… But I’m afraid that once I unlock the doors, memories of the place would escape… The good ones, and even the bad ones…”

“We don’t have to go in if you don’t want to,” said Lyris. She was worried about him. “When we talked on the phone, and on the way coming here, I thought you only had good memories of this place… But it seems like I was wrong.”

Chisei looked down on the ground, advoiding her eyes. He must have done it wrong. He should not be so emotional and weak in front of Lyris. She did not come here for a sad Chisei, did she?

But Chisei would never know, Lyris felt utterly happy that he had shown her another side of his. She took his hand and said, “If you have bad memories about this place, how about creating good ones to replace them?”

Chisei seemed surprised. “Replace the bad memories?”

“Yes! You just told me about catching fish in the streams, and cooking soup,… That sounds really fun! I haven’t done anything like that before. I want Chisei to teach me how to hold my breath, catch fish and use hanging stoves! So when I think about this place, my mind will be fillied with memories of Chisei! And Chisei will remember the memories with me as a part of this place too!”

Was it a faint blush she caught on his face? Chisei smiled softly as she gazed down on her beautiful face.

“Lyris, you know that it will take a lot of time to learn all of those, right?”

“No problem! You just need to bring me here again and again and again, until I learn all!”

Chisei’s smile turned into a big grin. “I’ll take you here as many times as you want.”

When he saw her beam, he thought it was even more radiant than the most beautiful sunrise on the mountain that he could remember. That day, Chisei took Lyris to the streams and they caught lots of fish. They made soup and roasted sweet potatoes together when the sun set. Chisei had never met a beautiful city girl who was willing to get her dress dirty and do all the hard work she was not familiar with.

By the end of the day, they both sat down on the hill looking up at the stars. Lyris, though exhausted, still kept a smile on her face.

“I’ve never had this much fun... Thank you, Chisei Gen.”

Chisei looked at her and smiled, without saying anything. Lyris had to ask out of curiosity.

“Why are you staring at me?”

“You have dirt… on your face.”

“Huh?!” Lyris tried to brush off the dirt on her face sheepishly. Chisei always liked beautiful girls. How could she let him see her being ugly, even for just a moment?

“Don’t worry.” Chisei said softly. The wind messed with his hair as he placed a hand on her face, a finger caressed her cheek. “You’re still the most beautiful girl I’ve ever laid my eyes on.”

-The end-

D74 - Anniversary Health Katori

1. Highlight of the day: We had sex a couple times during the night and in between kisses, QT said happy first month anniversary. My heart skipped a beat and was filled with a healthy dosage of joy. We soon fell asleep in each other’s embrace. After our physical ritual, we were able to tear ourselves from the bed to enjoy a simple breakfast with fresh coffee and shitty croissant (QT’s words) and some fun facts about milk/cream/fair value of cows. It was a balmy morning and not as windy as yesterday so we decided to walk to Pho Tien Thanh. On our way, I kept gasping whenever I saw or remembered something interesting and QT kept shaking his head and exclaiming “Troi oi”. Even though I was not impressed with the food we tried, it was still a very lovely date. QT showed me the photos during his Japan trip more than 10 years ago and I got to see a glimpse of his young self (very dreamy with his lush hair and bright smile). We walked it off by tracing our steps back, stopping by a few shops along the way, including a Korean shop that sold cute stuff featuring cats and other adorable creatures. We finally loaded ourselves with calories from Nadege’s macaroons before parting ways.

2. Thing I’m grateful for: My family is still doing well amidst the rampant COVID-19, largely thanks to the drastic but effective measures by the government to safeguard everyone’s health and also our people’s innovative methods to promote hygiene. On the other hand, I don’t think personal information is properly handled and such violation can create social stigma and ostracism against confirmed cases.

3. Thing I’ve learnt: QT showed me a few clips from his Katori Shinto dojo and he demonstrated the practice with the wooden sword he ordered from Japan. As we shared our experience and passion for martial arts, I was enchanted by his energy, drive and mindset. I sincerely hope he could find something that embodies the spirit he is looking for and that he could continue to grow and find joy in committing to that.

DIVERSITY IN SEATTLE THEATRE, JULY/AUGUST 2017

In August the Gregory Award nominations went out, and holy crap, I was excited. All five best director nominees were women. All five best new play writers were women. Three of the best production nominees were directed by women, and one of them was the all-female BRING DOWN THE HOUSE, a two-part adaptation of Shakespeare’s HENRY VI. Artists of color dominated, especially black artists, especially black women artists, while Asian and Latinx artists also grew from previous years. There is strength in numbers. People are finding their voices, finding ways to tell the stories that mean something, finding ways to collaborate. This is how you gain power. In that moment, I was so proud that the distant thunder I first heard last year had become a roar: we cannot be silenced.

1. Much Ado About Nothing, William Shakespeare, dir. Jon Kretzu, Seattle Shakespeare Co/Wooden O. As usual, diversely-cast.

2. Please Open Your Mouth, Joanna Garner, dir. Norah Elges Scheyer, Café Nordo. Diversely-cast.

3. Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare, dir. Leah Adcock-Starr, Off-Road Shakespeare Company. Diverse-race-AND-non-gender-specific casting. Everyone learned a bunch of different parts, and they pulled them out of a hat at the beginning of each performance.

4. Downstairs, Theresa Rebeck, dir. Julie Beckman, Theatre22/ACTLab. White or white-presenting.

5. Greensward, R. Hamilton Wright, dir. Richard Ziman, MAP Theatre. Race-specific, cast accordingly.

6. Hoodoo Love, Katori Hall, dir. Malika Oyetimein, Sound Theatre/The Hainsberry Project. Race-specific, all-black cast.

7. The Wong Kids (reading), Lloyd Suh, dir. Harry Todd Jamieson. Almost entirely Asian cast.

8. Pericles, William Shakespeare, dir. Annie Lareau, Seattle Shakespeare Company/Wooden O. Diversely cast.

9. Feed/back, Amelia Wade (devised piece), dir. Megan Brewer, MAP Theatre. Diversely cast.

10. Hamlet, William Shakespeare, dir. Robin Lynn Smith, Freehold Theatre. Diversely-cast.

11. Resistance Cabaret, UMO Ensemble, dir. Elizabeth Klob, UMO Ensemble/ACTLab. White or white-presenting.

12. Sundown at the Devil’s House, Eddie DeHais, dir. Eddie DeHais, Café Nordo. Both race-specific and non-race-specific, diversely-cast.

13. Mud, Maria Irene Fornes, dir./trans. Rose Cano, ESE Teatro. They did this in two versions: the original English, and in Spanish. Monica Cortes Viharo, who is in the graduate program at UW, learned Spanish for this role; you could tell, but it wasn’t necessarily a distraction.

14. American Archipelago, multiple writers, dir. Bobbin Ramsay, Pony World Theater, race-specific and cast accordingly.

15. Fool for Love, Sam Shepherd, dir. Alex Bodine, ACTLab. Diversely-cast.

16. 14/48, multiple writers and directors. They made a major change: all the roles come out of a single bucket, not divided by gender. That was pretty cool.

17. Over and Under, Juliet Waller Pruzan and Bret Fetzer, dir. Rachel Katz Carey, Annex Theatre. Diversely-cast.

18. Alex & Aris, Moby Pomerance, dir. John Langs, ACT. Diversely-cast (can you say that a play is diversely-cast if there are only two actors in it?).

19. Madagascar Jr., Kevin Del Aguila, George Noriega and Joel Someillan, dir. Hattie Andres. This was Seattle Children’s Theatre’s summer program performance, so, all little kids. Very diverse.

20. Intiman Emerging Artists Showcase, solo works, multiple directors. This was all about diversity.

21. Building the Wall (reading), Robert Schenkkan, dir. Desdemona Chiang, ACTLab/Azeotrope/Outsider Inn. Race-specific, casted accordingly.

22. The Moors (reading), Jen Silverman, dir. Erin Murray, Forward Flux. Diversely-cast.

23. Fractured. multiple writers/directors, BASH Theatre. White or white-presenting.

24. We Are Pussy Riot, Barbara Hammond, dir. Logan Ellis, Theatre Battery. Diversely-cast.

25. Statements After An Arrest Under the Immorality Act, Athol Fugard, dir. Emily Harvey. Race-specific, casted accordingly.

26. Proof, David Auburn, dir. Arlene Martinez-Vasquez. Latinx cast and company, bilingual English/Spanish adaptation.

27. Nite Skool, created and directed by the Libertinis, Annex Theatre. Race-specific, I think.

28. Okay, Bye (reading), Josh Conkel, dir. Marquicia Domingue, ACTLab. Diversely-cast.

29. Goblin Market, Polly Pen and Peggy Harmon, dir. Teresa Thuman, Sound Theatre. Diversely-cast AND they switched roles back and forth.

30. Persuasion, Harold Taw and Chris Jeffries, dir. Karen Lund, Taproot Theatre. White or white-presenting.

31. 14/48: Nordo, multiple writers/directors, Café Nordo. Diversely-cast.

32. Much Better, Elizabeth Frankel, dir. Henry Nettleton, Really-Really Theatre Group. Diversely-cast.
