two performance day...

and one performance too much---it is really exhausting, by the time I got to the second play of the day, at the Public, I was pretty tired. Maybe a learning experience. Still David Cale's piece at the Public was really special, a one man show about the frightening disfunctional family he came from. Great story telling combined with some very sensitive music---the story is synthesized in a very special way. As I have said in earlier posts, I met David quite by accident when we sat next to each other at the first Clubbed Thumb play last year. He was very laid back and decent, so watching his monologue, I felt a kind of personal investment in it. Very moved at the end---stood up and cheered like everyone else. The earlier play at Ohio Space was very disappointing--totally self indulgent, and even a super performance from Juliana Kelly could not save it. Left feeling incredibly frustrated.
  Today will see Amina Henry's play at he Flee. She is very imaginative so I am looking forward to it. 
  Those is a reparations discussion at Brooklyn Museum this afternoon, would like to go but think I will miss it---need to rest a little after last night. Cool down, cityboy. Anyway, it is a beautiful day, and it might be fun to explore a bit before going to the play. We will see.
  Tomorrow another project at Bank Street---a friend's monologue---expect to see a lot of people I know there---should be fun, but it is at 8:30---have to figure out what the rest of the day should be like and also make sure I am not exhausted by the time it begins, as I am on several Sunday evenings. Well, we will figure it out--that is all for now---will report soon.
