Tony just dropped by and took me to Burger Joint after being appalled last night that I'd never been. It was pretty awesome- this little hole-in-the-wall place tucked into a big fancy hotel. So very burgery and tasty.
He's off to sign his contracts for In the Heights- He has his costume fitting on Thursday! Exciting ( Read more... )

Friday night Tesse and I went to see "The White Rose", also part of the NYMF.  It was a musical about a group of students in Nazi Germany who begin a resistance and are eventually all killed for it.  Based on a true story ( Read more... )

The audition notice for Artemis and the Wild Things' production of King Lear is in Backstage today. Thanks, ceebeegee for pointing it out to me.

James Glenn, the guy playing Lear, was the exiled Duke in our As You Like It. I'm sure he'll be great ( Read more... )

I'm not going to Company auditions tonight- my earlier purchase of Double-Stuf Oreos has necessitated the drinking of milk, so now I'm phlegmy. I'm gonna see if I can get some writing done tonight. I've been neglecting my plays, which have been screaming to be finished ( Read more... )

Gregg e-mailed me the other day, asking if I'd like to go out for coffee sometime to talk about my play. He was the only As You Like It cast member to show up (he's also the one who was all mackin' on Slade afterward).

Steve, who played Oliver in As You Like It, has terrible headshots. He's quite cute, but you'd never know from these shots. Yowza.

They'd been predicting rain for Sunday, but the weather was as clear as a bell and as hot as a griddle.
Our last As You Like It show went rather well. It was too hot to laugh, so our audience sat, transfixed; each with a rictus of "trying to enjoy this". I was totally scattered at the beginning, and almost missed my first entrance because ( Read more... )

Mom got to see the Shakespeare and enjoyed it very much.
Poor Chandra had to see the Extraordinaries, which she hated, which surprised me a bit- maybe they were having a bad night or something (Mom didn't like what little she saw, either, which was less surprising ( Read more... )
