Media Lab principal research associate Glorianna Davenport and two of her graduate students, Barbara Barry and Brian Bradley, are interviewed on the future of media art, and work by graduate student Stefan Agamanolis is presented.

This year, his play Moses will be performed by the African Repertory Theater; Ms. Harrington's Dress Right will be performed by the Nora Theatre Company. The 40 selected plays were chosen from more than 200 submissions.
