This issue honors The Purple Circuit mission through the work of Playwright Carol Polcovar, her New Village Productions and her latest endeavor The Fresh Fruit Festival held in August 2003 in New York City. Brava to Carol for all her years of artistry and hard work!

The Fresh Fruit Festival was designed to support and develop the cutting edge in LGBT performance and theater arts. Their goal was to build a network of support to nurture emerging arts. From all reports this seems to have happened and I look forward to next year’s Fresh Fruit 2. For info go to www.newvillageproductions.org/fresh.html
