Well, I never made it to find those work pants. So be it. I did have time to see three shows though which is a way better way to spend my money and time:
Neil Labute Reasons to Be Pretty - where my awesome sudo cousin Ilana is the assistant director. Not only that - this off b'way show is now headed to B'way (thanks to the August producers!) and well so is she!! Which is the coolest thing since slice bread.
The next show was Christopher Durang Marriage of Bette and Boo where the understudy for the character Matt was Ben H. who was in two plays I directed - one I wrote. Ben came straight from school to NYC and after doing only a few fringe shows - (two of mine) he got his Off Broadway debut (while in mine). He has been working ever since. Seems everyone is taking steps up the ladder.
The last show was Caryl Churchill's Top Girls - don't know anyone involved in that show but it was a great play. That opening scene was so funny - you don't realize how funny it can be from the page. The best part was after the show, LMB and I were leaving the theater and a tourist - with a thick southern accent said "Oh lets try that Top Girls Club over there." Um sir, that there is called a b'way show - what you are seeing is a Marquee! Not and entrance to a club! I so wanted to follow him and his family gang to the door and listen as they try in vain to get into what they think is a club.
Today I started my job as an agents assistant - luckily his old assistant is staying around for a few days to get me up and going - which is a huge help. So far so good. It's a lot to take in but that's expected.
Okay it's time to watch mindless TV and avoid my writing. (Better not get into the habit of that -I have a thesis to write)
