TOD - The opening of THE GLASS CASTLE by Jeannette Walls grabbed my attention and I could not put the book down:

"I was sitting in a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening, when I looked out the window and saw Mom rooting through a Dumpster."

BK, when you say that no one had been running their blocking.  Are you referring to just the students; or do you mean the students and the guest artists, as well?

I, on the other hand, am up.  Finally.  Guess I needed another eleven hours of sleep.  I am now way behind on my day and if I'm to eat must do so in the next half hour.

Except, in this case - a little bug-a-boo of mine. It drives me crazy whenever "man and wife" is used.


It should either be "man and woman" or "husband and wife."

On my way out the door now, but wanted to acknowledge BK's notes re the rehearsals.

Oy!!!      Oy! Oy! Oy!

In particular, the Kritzerland one.  Is this someone new, or someone formerly reliable who slipped up this time?

Just one more little oy:   Oy!

I just read Rob Stevens's new review. Interesting premise for a play.
