Tending to family/relaxing and helping Jenn and the kids recuperating. I think it's easy to underestimate how stressful it was for Tony Jr. who spent half of his life watching his mom's belly balloon, then seeing her have contractions and be go...

That's the advice I was given about five minutes before the curtain of the first show I ever directed. It was in a one-act festival, only instead of a ten-minute play like all the rest that semester, mine ran a swift 75 minutes. I guess I never was very g...

What seems like a lifetime ago, I was in Paris. Technically, I was still a student and a (sometimes paid) intern. The short answer to why is that I didn't need a green card (okay, they call it a carte de sejour) to do so.The second production I worked on ...

It was a simple question.Chuy and I were discussing something I had written. He has an invaluable set of eyes. Because unlike almost eveyone person I've ever worked with, he didn't study theatre in college. He sees our theatre differently than most who've...

I think at this point most (on the left at least) would agree that trickle down economics does not work. It hasn't worked in almost every place around the globe it has been tried. A healthy economy does not reside in large numbers in poverty and large num...
