The play I’m in goes up this week. It is called Closer and was written by Patrick Marber. The action surrounds two couples whose lives and relationships become intertwined through love, lust, deceit and the truth. New York Magazine said this: “CLOSER is a sad, savvy, often funny play that casts a steely, unblinking gaze [...]
One of my favorite artifacts from Boston in the 80s was a small, literary gem called The Duplex Planet. The Duplex Planet was a true independent – hand copied, stapled and delivered – and could be found at Newbury Comics or any hip record shop and book store. It was/is created, owned and operated by [...]
Last Broadway show… for a while. And this caps a fantastic year for me and Broadway that started last Christmas with Julianne Moore and The Vertical Hour. I would like to thank my Drama League membership for signing me up for all the discounts and allowing me the opportunity to go see theater. (‘Cause I [...]
Another short play under Written Works. We were given a theme for a recent set of readings. A group of us were to write something based on the Kitty Genovese murder. I like to think of this piece as being about two monsters…
Another short play. More of a monologue. Under Written Works.
On Wednesday, I went to Broadway to see Journey’s End – a play about the British in World War I. It is nominated tomorrow for a Tony. And it will win the Tony. And then it will close. In fact I believe it is closing tomorrow, which is why I went last week. There have [...]
I think most people don’t take a full vacation because of how long it takes to catch up when you come back. After five days in Vegas, that is where I found myself last week. And I had my leg iron (my Treo) with me so I could respond to ALL of my email. Since [...]
Okay – I finally won some money. About $100 on one of those video poker machines. In the Irish casino no less. (Coincidence?) I am now ahead. Still think that kind of gambling is dumb. Last night, I saw the only show I signed up for – Love by Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage. [...]
This was my first play. It’s an extended one act about the life of the American actress Jean Seberg, paralleled with the rise and fall of Joan of Arc. A “two hander” as they are called – two actresses only. If anyone’s in the city, I am having a staged reading of the play at [...]
Another of my short plays. This one is funny – honest! Under Written Works.
We weren’t allowed to have the program while we were sitting onstage, so they gave it to us after the show and I shoved it in my bag. I was sitting on a SANTO LOQUASTO SET!!! He is only a legend on Broadway. I’m very excited now.
“He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind And the fool shall be the servant to the wise of heart.” So, I was on Broadway last light – capping my biggest NY theater week in quite a few years. And when i say I was “on” Broadway, I mean I was onstage! I [...]
This is one of my short plays. You can find it under Written Works.
And I survived the marathon! The plays started at 11am and ended at 11pm (with an hour and a half for both lunch and dinner). As we came out, they gave everyone a button that said “I Ran A Marathon” (which I thought was very sweet). So how was it? Overall it was tremendous! The [...]
