Sometime in very early high school, the school theater group did Ubu in Chains for a competition play, and for some reason that was a very fun experience to watch. I think they broke the competition rules, though, by letting me help hand out programs even though I wasn't part of the group. An Eastern Michigan production of A Thousand Clowns also sticks out in my memory, but more because I like the content then that particular performance. My own in-class-only performance of The Zoo Story... well, those were different times.

Gracious, I haven't seen live theater for so long that I'm salivating thinking about it. The cats put on a good nightly show in our living room, which I call "Feline Theater"...<BR/><BR/>The first Broadway play I ever saw (Ann was there!) was "Crazy For You". Incredible choreography, great Gershwin score. It was a beautiful thing. I don't know that it was my Best experience of live theater, but it was a big moment for me.<BR/><BR/>Another significant moment that comes to mind: I had a small, nonspeaking role in a community theater production of "Man of La Mancha". The show had such a great cast and director that I was incredibly proud to have even this tiny part, and I loved watching rehearsals.kStylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722899143558375319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881724.post-1127750297619625002005-09-26T11:58:00.000-04:002005-09-26T11:58:00.000-04:001.

It's good fun.<BR/><BR/>2. ...forget your birthday.<BR/><BR/>3. Two come immediately to mind: the revival a few years ago of Mamet's "American Buffalo" at the Atlantic Theater Company, with William H. Macy, Philip Baker Hall, and Mark Webber. A perfect production of a perfect play, in a perfect theater with a perfect cast.<BR/><BR/>The other would be Albee's "The Play About the Baby," at Century Center in NYC with Marian Seldes and Brian Murray. Wow.<BR/><BR/>Runners-up would include last fall's Broadway revival of "'Night Mother," with Edie Falco and Brenda Blethyn; the recent Shakespeare in the Park production of "As You Like It;" Mamet's "The Old Neighborhood" at the Booth Theater in 1997 and the revival of "Glengarry Glen Ross" currently playing at the Jacobs; the original production of "Art" at the Royale, with Alan Alda, Victor Garber, and Alfred Molina; and Richard Nelson's "Franny's Way," also at the Atlantic, in 2000 or so.<BR/><BR/>I think that's enough. Yes.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17398970625237882039noreply@blogger.com
