OPENING NIGHT: THE GOAT, or WHO IS SYLVIA?


Tonight I had the great pleasure of seeing a work of art. Aftter the lights came down and the actors took their bows and the curtain came down, I was speechless. It has been a long time that I have seen something that left me breathless after it was done. I can't give too much away - except this: GO SEE THIS SHOW! I am going to try to see it again. The performances are great but Pamela Reed was magnificent. This show is not for the squeamish - so if you are repulsed easily - this show won't be your cup of tea. I thought it was brilliant and now sits at the top of my favorite plays and one that I hope to perform in one day. Playwright Edward Albee is simply a genius.
It is a modern day greek tragedy - it's funny, it's disgusting - it's great theatre!

After the show I met up with Teatro Zinzanni's Diva Heather Clemens and we had a very nice night on the town. I almost never go to the city unless I'm going to see a show so it was nice to hit Martuni's & a late dinner. Tonight I ran into a couple of theatre folks - Mike Padilla & Carly Ozard. It was great to see them both.

It's late so I better go rest - remember only 3 performances left of World!
