atonement

let us not talk about affliction, but things of beauty...

Burn This by Lanford Wilson is being presented by GroundUp Theatre Company currently running at the Duncan YMCA Chernin Center for the Arts Studio Theater (1001 W. Roosevelt Rd.). If you are interested in seeing a beautiful show done beautifully, go see this production directed by two of my favorite people in the world, Julie Levinson and Don Johnson. Sabrina Lloyd plays a stellar Anna, Todd Wojick a perfect Burton, Matthew Zaradich a hilarious Larry and John Wilson a punch-to-the-gut Pale; Nicole Pellegrino as the Dancer was an added treat for all. Props to Glenn Proud on some great Fight Direction! Powerful.

Madeline and I went to the final Cubs game of the season. Great seats except we got some shade from the awning aboce. It got cold so we moved to seats in the sun for a brief time. The usher allowed us to stay after seeing Madeline shivering next to me and the entire row empty. Minutes after we made nice with the Usher, Scott Moore hit a foul ball in the bottom of the second that hit the woman behind us and landed directly into Madeline's seat. The ball was ours! Never before has this happened to me. I talked to a friend of mine at work who has figured he's gone to more than 300 games in his lifetime and never has a foul ball come close to his hands. Madeline has been to 6 and this is the third foul ball she or someone she has been with has caught it. Exceptional!

"No Exit" benefit tomorrow night at Ts Bar & Grill. Be there or be a rhombus (those chosing to be a rhombus are excluded from perdition as long as they come out to see the show we're benefiting...more info at www.livewirechicago.com).

Work on "A/other Lover" is heating up. A dramatic monologue was written while I walked to work this morning. hopefully it fits in the space I feel an absence. i'm afraid I may have to write a few more to beef the play up.

Work on "Hailey's Comets" is also heating up. I'm going to send a copy to the story's originator and see want she thinks. The more I get into it the more I think it is a feasible and must shoot film.

Wet City Productions' two shorts are so close to being ready for submission, re-productions, distribution I can taste it.

Peace to all,
