Lincoln Ocean Victor Eddy is presented before a live audience. The performance, adapted from the black book in mainly dialogue form, offers a temporary face and voice to our undisclosed officer. As an audience member, you're invited to witness Jill Magid and actor Ed Vas perform the story as part theatrical rendition, and part poetry reading.

Link to comment by Ed Vas after his first performance as the officer:
I once drove (as I do) very fast down a NYC street over three pigeons.
Two flew away, and I didn't see the third. After I drove to my destination (about 20 blocks) I parked and a crowd of people crowded around the front of my car. I had no idea what they were pointing to, but apparently the pigeon had been lodged in the tow hook of my SUV and was staring face forward with its body caught in my grill. A bike messenger used his gloves to dislodge the bird. It ruffled its feathers and then flew away. My friend and I pontificated that the bird flew back to it's buddies and said 'You wouldn't believe the experience I just had'. An experience that most likely no other pigeon had had, and it would never have again. I don't know why, but it made me think of the officer, and what he experienced with you. Just a thought.
