March is already in high gear!
This week I:
-Submitted for 2 labs and 1 residency. Only 2 applications to go.
-Saw The Pride (okay that was last saturday), A Behanding in Spokane, Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers, and Next Fall
-Had dinner cooked for me
-Debated three musketeers until 4am with other artists
-Experienced my first Musical Mondays at Splash
-Finished rehearsals for Almost Olive Juice (which opens tonight)
-Baked a Cake
-Started packing for my move
-Was offered the 4th show at Pioneer Playhouse in KY FOR BETTER
-Had an eating tour of Little Italy (yes nothing to do with Theatre, but fun none the less)
-Got a lovely mention in an article by Hannah at BlogCritics (http://blogcritics.org/culture/article/why-bad-theater-puts-me-in1/)
Or
" Let me point out an example of quality theatre. Using The Secret Theatre in Long Island City once again, allow me to cite the best production I have seen there: their winter production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, directed by Katherine M. Carter. Ms. Carter's entire production was critically acclaimed across the board because it was creative, imaginative and a joy to watch from start to finish. Did she have expensive sets or costumes? No, she dressed the entire cast in pajamas and her set with two white blocks and four pieces of fabric hanging from the ceiling, representing columns. Carter and her design team allowed their imaginations to run wild, in the end creating a fun show for all. That's quality theatre in my book. Ms. Carter and her entire cast and crew took an idea, ran with it and was a success, whereas Cyrano de Bergerac was, overall, a lazy production and therefore, bad theatre in my book."

This week:
-Tonight Almost Olive Juice Opens
-Finish 2 Applications (Adaptation and Williamstown)
-I am seeing Titus at the American Globe, The Book of Grace at The Public, and another show on the 13th
-My brother Dan has a birthday
