Hey, I’m moving to BlueSky!

I’m now at BlueSky, too.

Taking a break from this platform until it's owned by someone I respect. If you want more information about the plays I write or theater people I love or how I'm walking through the world, you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and my website ByKennethJones.com.

Chicago premiere of ALABAMA STORY, my play about book-banning, staged by @GhostlightETC in two Windy City bookstores, Sept. 27-Oct. 20. bykennethjones.com/for-chicago-pr…

Don't post April Fools' Day jokes. There are enough lies in social media. Be information, not disinformation or misinformation.

Looking for a comedy that echoes the heart and humor of STEEL MAGNOLIAS? My six-character play HOLLYWOOD, NEBRASKA is just the ticket. bykennethjones.com/heartland-come…

My new comedy TEN MINUTES ON A BENCH is part of @FloridaRep's 2024 PlayLab Festival of New Works in May! floridarep.org/show/playlab-2…

Katie Britt is full of shit. Pass it on. From the party of The Big Lie comes little liars like @KatieBrittforAL. She should be teaching her kids: Be impeccable with your words; don't manipulate facts; don't lie; tell the truth; facts matter.

Booked a basic economy ticket with an airline. Had to cancel my vacation plans. No change/refund/credit available at that level. Total loss of this $377 ticket. Airline pockets my money from forfeited ticket and gets to re-sell my seat. @SecretaryPete, please help reform this.

March is #WomensHistoryMonth2024, a good time to honor the true story of heroic librarian Emily Reed, who, at great risk, protected books in Alabama libraries in 1959. My @DramatistsPlayS play about her, ALABAMA STORY, will get 8 productions in 2024-25. bykennethjones.com/alabama-story-…

A new play by @NanditaShenoyNY opens this weekend @NJRep. Check out my interview with the frisky playwright, who mixes laughter and rue. A play about communication and connection. bykennethjones.com/esspy-a-new-pl…

@NYCTSubway Cleaning crews all just watching us wait. No agents. Also, the inconsistent N trains (every 24 minutes) are no help to thousands of riders needing access to Queens. Plus, sleeping, compromised people on many cars. Who is minding the subway after midnight? Where is @MTA's decency?

@ByKennethJones Hi, Kenneth. We'll check with our stations team to refresh the signage there and rope the platform off at Times Sq, since the 7 train platform should be closed at this time. Can you DM us with some information about the personnel, including whether these were station agents? ^TF

Misery is waiting for the 7 train for 15 minutes at Times Square subway station and hearing a loudspeaker announce that there are no trains to Queens due to track maintenance. No signage and none of the subway personnel telling us there's no service. Thanks, @MTA & @NYCTSubway

In the Naples/Ft. Myers area, @GulfshorePlay's inaugural season at Baker Theatre/Education Center boasts Anything Goes, Every Brilliant Thing, Dial “M” For Murder, The Lehman Trilogy, Noises Off, Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill & Sweet Charity. New sun in the Sunshine State.

ALABAMA STORY makes its Mississippi premiere tonight! Break a leg, director Louie P. Gallo & Co. I love a clean, spare set that allows my “Deep South of the imagination” to be filled in by the actors and the words. Thanks, @sct_tweets. #Starkville bykennethjones.com/alabama-story-…

@McHenryJD Poor folks and outsiders must travel by foot.

so what I'm getting is that Oz has already developed high speed rail

My new play TEN MINUTES ON A BENCH gets a Manhattan reading tonight. I'm grateful for game, gifted artists. bykennethjones.com/ten-minutes-on…
