Currently running is his musical CAROLINE, OR CHANGE, an evening of short plays (which they’ve dubbed ‘Tiny Kushner’ and I giggle every time I hear that), and a brand new play commissioned by the Guthrie called THE INTELLIGENT [...]

Tony nominations are out!
A couple surprises (MyGuyTM and I thought this would be the first year where we’ve actually seen all the Best Musical noms; instead the surprising addition of ROCK OF AGES to the list, a slot we thought would be occupied by 9 TO 5, means we saw three of the four) but it [...]

“A few of the guests, who had the misfortune of being too near the

The answer to last week’s “Liar, Liar” was #3: I’ve been working on creating a cookbook with soda pop based recipes. Not sure that I’ll ever do anything with it but it’s been a fun project that’s kept me experimenting in the Kitchen. As for the others: I do like to have the Food Network on [...]
