about how to spend the day, and the whole virus situation as well. What is happening with the theaters? On the blogs, there is great alarm. For myself, I can't see it. I still feel comfortable attending a play in a large (or, as usual in my case) small theater. I guess its just a "wait and see" situation. And what about movie theaters? I intend to go to some of them during this vacation. Nothing to do, I suppose, but wait it out.
Tonight, may head to Brooklyn to see a play in Sunset Park, first stopping at a friend's opening at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (a long way from Sunset Park). Yesterday two good sessions---will continue on Saturday---I don't expect any of them to be canceled. Afterwards, kept my promise to myself. Did not go straight home---instead visited Lansdowne Road, the bar on 10th and 44th, where I watched some basketball, had a nice salad, and visited with Mel, my server-actress friend. She was glad to see me--I have a nice bond with her. She is getting married in June---seems comfortable with it, I have not met her fiance. Returned home in a much better state.
Is my vision of theater going changing? Somehow I can't feel as excited as I did even a year ago. I know there are really interesting pieces that I could see, but in my head, I have already seen them. I can't find the urgency that I have previously felt---still, I am scheduled to see a musical on Saturday, and do want to go to Brooklyn to see GNIT next week (if the theater remains opened) . City Center's Encores is presenting Love Life, the little known collaboration between Alan Jay Lerner and Kurt Weill---that is next week, and I really feel I have to see that. Nothing to do but to take things one day at a time (or really one hour at a time).
That is the report for today--will report soon.
