Coloring Contest
Hello. Emerging deep from the bowels of Rome, I surface long enough to direct you to the SHANGHAI LOW THEATRICALS website, and our first annual Coloring Contest. Really, it's a fund-raiser, but a fun one - a fun-raiser, if you will. (If you won't, I completely...

DC Adventures – 2
...and LEAR is open! The reviews are fantastic, in that even when they hate it, they HATE it. There is no middle ground in this production. It's balls-out, literally. No one can walk away without strong feelings. The Washington Post loved it, the Washington Times...
D.C. Adventures – Part 1
I arrived in the nation's capitol a week ago today, which is to say Monday the 18th. It has already been a great ride, and I have the rest of the summer ahead of me. As a reminder, I'm in D.C. to work on the remount of Bob Falls' KING LEAR starring Stacy...
