Thoughts are with VT victims. Senseless and devastating.

About Me

My life mostly revolves around my dog, I write plays that aren't at all avant-garde or form-challenging but that are a little too earnest, I direct plays that with any luck make people laugh so hard they snort, I am inexplicably obsessed with baseball (for a chick who loathed all sports until 2001), I like to drink beer (ale only, I am so done with lager) and eat pizza, I dig a good book, I'd prefer to indulge in good TV than good film these days, and I wish I knew more banjo and fiddle players. And I hate ice and snow.I have an entertainment blog, if such things amuse you: http://weeztalkstoomuch.today.com/

My Interests

Dogs. Baseball. Politics. Red wine. Scary movies. Good novels, preferably by Jonathan Franzen. Bluegrass music. Oh yeah, and making contemporary theatre 200% less lame and boring. Warm weather.

I'd like to meet:

Nobody. I want to find old people. Richmond? Athens? DC? Appel Farm? Columbia? I'm all about the re-connecting. Oh, but if you're a member of the New York Yankees organization (farm system included) or you're a cop on Animal Precinct, feel free to contact me 'cause I totally worship you.

Music:

Dixie Chicks, New Lost City Ramblers, Misfits, Leonard Cohen, Dewey Balfa, Emmylou Harris, Metallica, Cat Stevens, Jawbreaker, Guided by Voices, a lot of Sabbath lately, Fear, The Exploited, GBH, The Damned, um... basically my past is punk and my present is mountain/bluegrass, so anything where the twain shall meet is especially lovely.

Movies:

Roll Bounce, Citizen Ruth, The 25th Hour, The Station Agent, Harold and Maude, Babe, Persona, Welcome to the Dollhouse, most Hal Hartley films, and a very long list of documentaries and horror movies

Television:

The Office, Law and Order SVU, The Shield, Reno 911, The Daily Show, Animal Precinct, Extras, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, How I Met Your Mother, Dexter. As much as most TV is complete garbage, there is more good television right now than there has been in who knows how many years....

Books:

Moneyball, Paradise, The Sound and the Fury, Crime and Punishment, The Corrections, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Linden Hills, Other People's Children: Cultural Conflict in the Classroom

Heroes:

Rosa Parks, Jon Stewart, Edward Albee, Jonathan Franzen, Christopher Guest, Gloria Steinem, Mamie Till-Mobley, Cesar Millan

My Blog

OUT OF AREA. Yuck. (And dogs.)

I'm in Vermont at Doug's and my phone has no signal in Bennington, so deepest apologies to anyone who's been leaving increasingly grumpy voicemails over the last 2-3 days.  At some point if my ca...

Opening Night!

The show opened last night!  Hurrah. It was a very bizarre opening; some of us spoke about it afterward and felt like it almost happened in a void. We did lose a few at intermission, but the good...

Oklahoma!

Well, I'm here and it's completely surreal.  Everyone's really nice, though, and the theater facilities are quite the step up from all the DIY spaces in NYC.  Now I'm going to have to get us...

A LOT is two words.

That's all I have to say.
