Outsiders. Four sold out matinees this coming week. — Prime Stage
Four sold out matinees this coming week. Haven’t seen it yet myself. (Nabbed photo from phgintheround’s Instagram.)
Watching ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ with 18,000 teenagers was one of the most profound theater experiences of my career
The arts are vital to our lives as humans. And if one entered the cavernous arena suspecting that 18,000 teenagers might view this as class-trip goof-around time, those suspicions evaporated with the extinguishing of the house lights. The students from Queens and Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island laughed with the actors playing the…
Daughter Carolyn plays Cherry in Prime Stage’s production of The Outsiders (Mar 6-15)
My daughter Carolyn plays Cherry in Prime Stage’s production of The Outsiders (Mar 6-15). Because Prime Stage works to incorporate the curriculum of local schools, each production contains a student matinee performance, allowing the students to connect more deeply to their school readings through theater. Prime Stage also seeks to bring each work of literature…

Samaritan Snare (ST:TNG Rewatch, Season 2, Episode 17)
(Rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation after a 20-year break.) Picard, who resolved last week’s plot by proving he was not too closed-minded and stubbornly prideful to admit he needs help from Q, sets this week’s plot in motion by demonstrating he is too closed-minded and stubbornly prideful to admit he needs help from his…

In January 2000, I was blogging about dancing paperclips, the transience of literary judgement, “bafflegab,” and a planned B&N/Microsoft online bookstore
In January 2000, I was blogging about Dancing paperclips and telemarketers A “100 best novels” list published in 1899 Updike’s prequel to Hamlet The “bafflegab” jargon generator “Bookseller Barnes & Noble is teaming with Microsoft to build a new online e-book store.” (but the link is dead)

I spent an hour on this. Below is the original version, as generated by imageflip.com, before my edits.
How 15 minutes I spent with a laptop in 1991 created 2 FT jobs and a promotion
In a section of my dissertation, I dove into office gender politics of the late 1940s, in order to explore just what Arthur Miller’s original audiences would have thought about the wire recorder that appears in Death of a Salesman. In the play, Willy Loman’s boss Howard thinks of the cutting-edge device as a domestic…

Narrating “A Christmas Carol” for WAOB Audio Theatre. (The four episodes will be released in the days leading up to Christmas.)
This class has been everything that I expect it would be and I cannot believe that we are so close to its end.
Some days are slogs. Some weeks are slogs. Some weeks are slogs that end with a wonderfully heartening comment from a student. I will not deny that I was a little worried about reading Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet as I know that they are two of Shakespeare’s most famous plays and I feared that…
