A buzz in the air, a scurrying in the evening. It was men I saw carrying bouquets, standing at the counter of the chocolate shop, clearly sensing the importance of not arriving empty handed. One savvy young man [SYM] relayed this story: A friend asked the SYM if he needed to do more than just …

The Best
Yesterday, at an audition for a commercial that was searching for a grandmother. What a delicious sight it was to see a room full of women: young to old, tall to short, fat to thin, white to brown, blue, green, brown eyed, long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair, silver, white to black hair, …
A Gift
Yesterday, upon visiting a friend out of the City, I was surprised by the gift of lunch at her house. Rather than going out to dine, she made the effort to treat us both at her house. It was so delightful and nourishing. Today, a friend was coming to visit me, so as a surprise …

Ars Nova
This is more than a theatre house, or just a company, in their words ‘they are NYC’s hub for new talent in theatre, music and comedy early in their professional careers’. The Artistic Director, Jason, is the great nephew of Frank. Frank is proud of Jason, and rightly so. Tonight I was there for The …
