very, very special

When the Old Hats curtain came up yesterday, when the dancing and music
started, I just sat for a moment feeling overwhelmingly grateful to be there with
such talent in this wonderful setting. Bill Irwin and David Shiner are clowns
and we loved them in 2001 in Fool Moon. They have not only aged beautifully,
they have included the extremely versatile Shaina Taub as music director.
She is such an asset! This is ACT's opening presentation for this season and
really, it could NOT have been better. We loved every terrific moment -
please consider going, you won't be sorry.

4000 Miles

Last Sunday night we went to ACT to see this one act play by Amy Herzog,
It's the story of a distraught young man (great acting by Reggie Gowland)
who travels from Washington State to NYC to visit his grandmother. Oh,
it's a bike trip and therein lies the story, well, one of the stories. It's an
excellent play and we recommend it ~ perhaps I would have "fixed" one
or two things, but 4000 Miles is well worth seeing. Unforgettable.
