Good morning, true believers.
1) Interview with an Author's performance on Friday was a great success and I'd like to thank everyone who attended any of the performances. Remember that the Brick has many more shows over the next few weeks as a part of the Pretentious Festival, so check them out. $10!
2) Ever watched Slings & Arrows. God, it's good!
3) Note here the discussion of "Nation-wide Premieres." Great comments here, and I think it's all worthy reading, both pro- and con-. I'll do a full posting about this to follow up as soon as I am able.

With regard to item #3: I think it's a Great Idea. I've wanted to be involved in something like that for a long time (having about 20 independent premieres of a show going up around the same time all over the country).
"Interview with the Author" is possible the most unfathomably evil play to appear on any stage on Earth. It represents not only the end of culture, but also the end of kindness and Christmas, and the onset of famine. Matthew Freeman is the reincarnated Azazel.
Thank you very much Mac.
I second the awesomeness of Slings & Arrows
I love "Slings & Arrows", especially Darren Nichols.
SLINGS AND ARROWS.
Yes, yes, yes!
slings and arrows... watched it from the beginning.
since i helped form a theater festival, now in it's sixth year, and the first year without me there, turning the key to open the theater...to stand there, that first few minutes..alone..waiting to watch it all happen... serving as everything from casting to production manager to cleaning toilets the first year.. to creating a great way to change the set with no way to lower the curtain on a hard play... to dealing with props that ate vs talent...
it makes me laugh in a different way.
it's brilliant.
