Title: Completeness Author: Itamar Moses Narrator: Mia Barron, Jason Ritter, Mandy Siegfried, Andre Sogliuzzo Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 05-23-12 Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works Genres: Live Events, Culture Publisher's Summary: A play about love between gun-shy young scientists! Just how does a computer scientist romance a molecular biologist? Elliot offers to build a computer program to help Molly with her latest research project, but they discover that love just might be the winning formula - if they can only move beyond their fear and past heartbreak. An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring: Jason Ritter as Elliot; Mandy Siegfried as Molly; André Sogliuzzo as Don and Franklin; Mia Barron as Lauren and Nell. Directed by Stephen Sachs.

Editorial Reviews: Computer programmer Elliot and molecular biologist Molly are brainy graduate students balancing schoolwork and their burgeoning attraction for each other in Itamar Moses' loquacious Completeness, and soon realize that love is an inexact science. Jason Ritter and Mandy Siegfried head a cast that also includes Mia Barron and Andre Sogliuzzo in this production by LA Theatre Works, and the sparkling twosome deftly navigate Moses' intricate and clever dialogue, connecting the somewhat dry conversations about their studies to the bounding emotions they are feeling for each other. Completeness depends on the chemistry between Ritter and Siegfried, and they give off sparks.

Title: Lawrence Ferlinghetti at the 92nd Street Y Author: Lawrence Ferlinghetti Format: Unabridged Length: 50 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-09 Publisher: 92nd Street Y Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Live Events, Culture Publisher's Summary: One of the key figures of the Beat movement in San Francisco in the 1950s, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has been the co-owner of City Lights Books since 1953. The first poet laureate of San Francisco, he is the author of more than 30 books of poetry, including A Coney Island of the Mind, The Secret Meaning of Things, A Far Rockaway of the Heart, and How to Paint Sunlight: Lyric Poems and Others, 1997-2000. ©2009 92nd Street Y (P)2009 92nd Street Y Editorial Reviews: This 2007 reading by the poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti at the 92nd Street Y took place just five days after the death of Kurt Vonnegut, and the program opens with an audio clip from the late writer, in which he states that "the major function of art is to make people like life more than they do". Ferlinghetti's work derives from the same school of thought, making listeners awaken to the world at large. His work is by turns humorous, political, personal, and emotionally stirring. The lines of one poem are interspersed with string music, and he divides his program into pre-9/11 and post-9/11 works. He is introduced by poet Marie Ponsot.
