things change quickly when cityboy gets an assignment at Friends. And now, even before next Thursday, he has two. Tomorrow morning and Tuesday morning. And so, normalcy returns!
Yesterday, did have to cope with a bit of "emptiness" in the middle of the afternoon, but decided, before I left the library yesterday to reserve a ticket to my friend Eliza's play, Indeed, Friend, getting a workshop production at 440 Lafayette, courtesy of Clubbed Thumb.
It was wonderful! Full of life. A great cast of young actors, playing college students with total truthfulness brought the play to meaningful life. Eliza has created six characters, who are totally real---nothing in this rueful "comedy" seems forced. Granted, in the larger scheme of things, the stakes are not terribly high, but it doesn't matter. This is a play about 5 students at a Catholic school who run a literary magazine. Their dialogue was very fresh and invigorating.Really made me leave the theater on a high, so high that I could not even go right to the subway---I had to walk south on Broadway to Houston Street and then west past the new Film Forum to the Houston Street station on the 1. Really a great choice for the evening---I sat next to Grieg, an actor friend who is a member of ERS. Good guy, it really made the evening even more meaningful.
Not much else to say, Not sure about this evening---I am a little tired right now; earlier I had toyed with the idea of going to Cobra to check out my friend Lindsay, among others, but wonder if I have the stamina for this now. Will go back to the apartment and rest, then make the decision. Will report tomorrow, if I can.
