A Reviewer is Born


VERY excited about this production.

In fact, I'm SO excited about it that I am stealing a night away from this insanely busy week to which I swore I wouldn't add another calendar item, and I am going to SEE this production opening weekend and REVIEW it here like I know what I'm talking about, and I'm not going to regret any sleep I have to lose to make up for those happily-anticipated hours in the theater.

Why?

Because The Glass Menagerie was the first play I can remember reading and falling in love with. Before Harold Pinter, before Sam Shepherd, before David Mamet, it was Tennessee Williams for me.

Also, because I find myself in deep smit with Mortal Fool Theater Project. And I can hardly wait to see what they do with this classic. Their production of Frankenstein was so much fun last year.

Oh, and one last reason: I'd like to get in for free. Wouldn't you? (You should pledge a review as well and see if you get lucky.)

P.S. Hi. I'm back.

Little glass animals freak me out.

I was so looking forward to a "March Forth" post from you! There wasn't one. I guess you were too busy doing the marching this year.

So glad you could come last night! Looking forward to reading what you think!
