merano is baffling, showoffy, almost a parody of purposeless pretension. If it doesn’t kick off the revival drenched in stage light sunrise, I’m going to kill myself.

this one I’ll admit it I do kinda love

Good grief I’ll never live this down

And a couple months later I got to do my Greeks again with an unfortunately very timely The Trojan Women with the Atlantic Acting School.

Then at the end of the summer Ian Reid let me direct his sweet sad intelligent ode to the end of summer in the city, “Heaven is a place in the sky” produced by Trove Collective.

Then in April we did Will Eno’s “Middletown” at the Atlantic Acting School, which was a huge bucket lister. I used to read Will’s “The Flu Season” every December on my bus ride home for Thanksgiving. Having him visit the cast and talk about the play was a treat.

In February we did Andy Boyd’s “Three Scenes in the Life of a Trotskyist”. David Barbour and others said some nice things about it. I also thought it was pretty good. The cast was brilliant. Ringers, all.
