moving slowly. down the track. chugging along, blowing steam.

working on a pilot.

headed towards our wedding at the end of the month.

after the wedding, a short honeymoonlet.

after that, back to work, then a theater retreat in Vermont.

then

packing up my belongings for a move end of July.

so much to do. every day a little closer to running out of time.

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? http://www.mtc-nyc.org/current-season/From-Up-Here-site/index.htm

"Playwrights remain theater’s long-suffering heroes."

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.
