the coldness seems to have ended, and the last two days saw my being part of a much more friendly and welcoming group, it is possible that I just confused a little tiredness with coldness, anyway, now the eight or so of us are working well together, as we enter the last week of the fringe. Have an extra two hours off because one show canceled, so time is going at a different pace.
Last night, really saw my first fringe show--Power, based on the life of Stokely Carmichael, my Bronx Science classmate, Very disappointing---just hint of Stokely's vision, the rest of the play was more about black rage (justified, of course, but covering ground already covered) and the actor's ability to morph into other personas. Very little about the man, how Howard changed him, his initial forays into the Civil Rights movement---no complexity, or anything that made him the man he became after his leadership in SNCC. Amazed that the writer and the director allowed this to happen, simply clumsy theater.
Not much else to say---do not have the computer for long, so must move on, hopefully tomorrow will have more time to write in detail.
