  • foundations

    asa got rach and i tickets to horizion at nytw last night and, aside of getting bumped from row g to row a, it was an evening that sorta made me fall back in love with seeing theatre (not that i’d fallen out with theatre, but i sometimes find it hard to enjoy a performance […]

  • and they say cheaters never win

    so, yes: i cheated. i back-posted the past five or so posts with dates and times that reflect when the pertinent thought was first scribbled down, not when it was typed up and posted. i am deeply sorry if this offends anyone’s archival or historical sensibilities, but it made more sense to me to do […]

  • thoughts on metro transit

  • passing friends

    every time i turn around in dc, i see another random friend: first al from trinity rep, who has since moved to dc as gm at ford’s, shows up at tech; then rob and jessie, also from providence, see me standing outside the theatre checking my voicemail as they drive down the street; then a […]
