My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bacon, Marlowe, Shaw, Wilde, Chekhov, Marivaux, Gaiman, Steinbeck, Larry David. And Twitter users! If you use Twitter--on your computer or on your phone/mobile device--consider following your favorite Bay Area outdoor theater, Cal Shakes. We're hoping to use Twitter to pass along all kinds of information next season, and possibly in the months leading up to it: coupons, contests, Tastings vendors for that night's performance, special web content, backstage scoops, and much more.So c'mon, follow us at http://twitter.com/calshakes. It'll be fun.
