I can’t believe that we’ve been incommunicado for over two months now.  It’s really kind of obscene.  Between everything that’s going on (and when you’re a tiny staff), there just hasn’t been much time to blog.

But there’s a lot that’s going on.   Here’s what’s up:

1) EDGEWISE – rehearsals started today.  It’s Eli’s play.  The meet-and-greet was great (“greet great”).   We start performances in less than month.  We love this play.  You will too.

2) THERE ARE NO MORE BIG SECRETS – this is Heidi’s play that we worked on during her fellowship year.  It’s premiering at Rattlestick.  Kip Fagan (of JACK’S PRECIOUS MOMENT) is directing.  Heidi is tremendous.  We miss her.

3) THE WIFE – this is Tommy’s play that we worked on during his fellowship year.  It’s premiering in November/December.  May Adrales is directing.  Tommy is insane.  The other play of his (SEXTET) that we worked on premiered in Seattle this past week.  If you’re there, please check it out.

4) 1001 – it just closed in Chicago.  We heard it was great.  We thought about going this past week, but then realized that, uhm, we didn’t have enough miles.  We wish Chicago were closer to New York.

Anyone out there who wants to blog for us?  Mom?

We were doing some (late) spring cleaning the other day and we ran across this video of the fight call for 1001.

Bonnie Brady (PSM) runs a fight call where Matt Rauch gets “brained” by Drew Cortese who in turn gets his arm chopped off by Roxanna Hope.  You can hear Jonathan Hova and the lovely Mia Barron commenting in the background.

Unless we’re on them, we think that “Top Ten Lists” are kind of silly. 

This was truly nice, though.   1001 made it on both David Cote’s and Adam Feldman‘s lists for the year-end Time Out edition.  Why hasn’t Jason Grote mentioned this on his blog?  C’mon, Jason!  You’re usually so great about picking this stuff up and posting it on your blog.
