Just back from a day trip up to Williamstown, MA with FJL's Skip and a couple of their pals. The occasion was of course to see Skip's HERRINGBONE, which was as weird and wonderful as I hoped it would be. BD Wong gave a performance of such commitment and for such a difficult bunch of characters. You cannot imagine the sustained energy in this one-man show. Skip's songs were a blast, and the staging had moments of real genius.
When the show was done, solid applause that was not subsiding until BD hushed everyone so he could point out Skip and gave a really nice shout-out to him in the audience. That was cool.
I also got to meet Roger Rees, Richard Kind, and the house manager, who happened to be a girl I directed in WHERE'S CHARLEY a couple years back. The weather was beautiful, I drove a rental vehicle and it all went so nicely I can't believe I'm home already.
Really a great day all the way around.
