About Our Cast:
CHUCK KINDER is an aging hillbilly-hippie poet-type who is currently
sinking into his ever deepening dotage like a Gulf sunset as seen
through an empty martini glass in Key Largo, Florida, where he is in awe
of pelicans (who put him in mind of drunken pirates) and palms, the
only trees he knows with balls and wings, whose feathers rustle in the
warm Florida Bay breezes like secrets whispered by green-eyed long-gone
hippie princess beauties or fading memories of childhood tin-roof rains.
In his youth Kinder wandered West out of the hills of Appalachia on
the lam from lawdogs for running moonshine with his outlaw uncles, and
then there were the armed robberies. He hoped to crash the Golden Gates
of San Francisco into the Age of Aquarius to become a famous Flower
Child, an enterprise at which he failed utterly, being a hard-core
hillbilly boy raised redneck mostly on road-kill and rage.
TAYLOR GRIESHOBER is a writer living in Wilkinsburg, and a waitress to
the stars. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in the Pittsburgh
Post Gazette, Monkeybicycle, Voices from the Attic, The New Yinzer, and
Weave. She is also co-director of TNY Presents.

the collection, The Slaughterhouse Poems (White Gorilla Press, 2013),
named one of the Best Books of 2013 by L Magazine. He’s worked as a
