not sure how long it's still running, but
I have to reccommend Liz Flahive's beautiful, touching yet funny show From Up Here. Got to see it Sunday. It's pretty great. She's one to watch. Are you watching her?

Isherwood says things I agree with
on large cast size:
A true artist, some might argue, can never let canny considerations of production influence his vision. Art must be its own imperative. A high-minded thought, but artists also hunger for their work to be known. A play that is never staged may be a work of genius, sure, but its genius is likely to leave no footprint on the world unless it is produced.
and
I’m not suggesting that size alone matters, obviously. But if the American theater is to remain an aesthetically robust enterprise, a vital step may be removing the invisible shackles from the imaginations of playwrights, making it natural — making it possible — for them to dream huge once again.
