Rock-n-Roll at American Conservatory Theatre. Through October 18.
The woman who sold me the ticket was so excited by this new playwright Tom Stoppard. I'm all like new? Like ma'am, he is so old, like Madeline Albright old, like Jack Nicholson old, like Colin Powell old, or like Olusegun Obasanjo old. Like Stoppard is only a year from being John McCain old. New? Like Rosencrantz and Gildenstern was written in 1966? Like on that scale Sam Shepard hasn't written Curse of the Starving Class yet (which ACT produced last year). Like on that scale freaking Suzan-Lori Parks doesn't even exist. Give me a freaking break. Like who writes your sales scripts because I'd like that job. New? Yeah. I bought a ticket. I was a sucker for her throaty English dialect. Honestly it was hot. And I'd been holed up all day with three kids. I must make it a point not to answer the phone when I've been so deprived of adult conversation.

Wow. That's quite the list !!!
I also want to see The Shining City. Have you heard of it ?
I do. I know Amy Glazer and one of the actors in the show. Want to go? It runs through November 22.
O, I wish I could get down there to catch V of D @ Cutting Ball, I bet that will be wild. I love that stupid play. If you make it, will you let us know what you thought?
Mead!
Chances of seeing VofD are pretty good. I will let you know what I think. I'm still trying to get my TBA festival thoughts down. But let me just say, I really loved my weekend in Portland and am looking forward to meeting you next time! I'm considering coming up for Apollo, but nothing is for certain at this point.
Well, let me know if you can make it; I'd be happy to arrange comps for you. Consider coming in the last week of January or the first week of Feb, when the Fertile Ground Festival will be in progress.
