Sounds like an epic by Cecil B. Demille, doesn't it?
Though I'm not involved in the production, a bunch of great friends are -- including both Michael Criscuolo and Gyda Arber, both of whom were featured in last October's The Blood Brothers Present . . . Pulp
I've been very pleased to finally join the "in crowd" in discovering Piper McKenzie Productions this last year. They're a great group of people, doing some really terrific work. And this show in particular hits just the right spot of interest, for me. Temple of Ishtar? I'm there. (I think Sandman had the first reference I ever came across referring to the Temple of Ishtar.)
So if you want to support a terrific group working on a fascinating project, details are below:

All proceeds go directly to the ever-mounting production costs of maintaining a thriving mercantile/religious/political metropolitan center on the eve of its spectacular downfall. So come hang with us before we all die in a gruesome, wince-inducing manner or are enslaved into humiliating lifelong surfdom.
Also, keep up with this production at what could be the best title for a blog ever, Babylblog Blogbylon.
More to come.
