So on Tuesday night, May 7, justom and I went to see Talley's Folly, featuring Danny Burstein and Sarah Paulson.

As many or most of you know, I was in theatreatfirst's 2005 production of this play back in Boston, so it's very close to my heart.

( not really a review, just some personal commentary )

I am home from The Margaret Ghost! Today we closed our triumphant four-show run, successfully deconstructed and stowed all the set and props, and were safely ensconced at heliopsis' place eating Chinese food by 8:30pm. Go us.

So, on that note, have some anecdotes about food.

Note: This has been cross-posted on the Margaret Ghost Producer's Blog, where there are a lot of new entries and you should go browse them if you take an interest in this production.

Note the second: The play opens THIS THURSDAY! Through Sunday only -- four shows! You should come! Belmont is pretty easily accessible even by public transit, and ( Read more... )

So, as previously noted, I'm in one more play this summer: The Margaret Ghost, about the 19th-century feminist, journalist, social organizer, and Transcendentalist, not to mention Cambridge native, Margaret Fuller. (Performances: June 17-20 in Belmont, MA. Order tickets now. :-)

J and I auditioned together this week for theatreatfirst's fall show Never After, a concert-style production of an original musical. Casting was announced today -- and we're both in! The first time we'll be in an actual full-length show together! It'll go up roughly 6 weeks from now -- two shows only, Sept. 25-26 -- on the main stage of the historic Somerville ( Read more... )

Yeah, okay. I'm not driving out to Concord. Maybe if it eases up this afternoon, I'll go for a while. (This would also mean I can take to the Post Office all the stuff that I need to mail.)

Meanwhile, I'm staying in my bathrobe and making buttons. :-)

In other news, I didn't get cast in theatreatfirst's Much Ado About Nothing, which is a bit disappointing, but ( Read more... )

One of the few good things so far about the play being over: I have my "autumn" silk scarf back (it's been on duty for the past month as my Act III sash). I expect to find myself wearing it every day for the rest of October at least.

The fact that most of us went to see gilana and ironpoet in Shakespeare in Hollywood the very next afternoon helped ease the ( Read more... )

It seems I have time for a public/general update about once a month. I suppose that's sensible enough.

Shul: Talk Like A Pirate Day was observed with a kosher bARRRRRR!beque on Sept. 19, although I forgot to wear my pirate hat for the occasion. I have finally updated the exciting Tremont St. 20s&30s fall calendar of events. There is much rejoicing ( Read more... )

I just made a reservation for this Sunday's (7/16) 3pm matinee of theatreatfirst's much-vaunted summer one-acts festival.

Since I'm a member, I get 2 tickets. Who wants to accompany me (and doesn't already have their own membership)? 8-)
