Anyone else notice that not one female playwright or female director made the 2007 list of Drama Desk nominees?
Maybe it's because no females were putting up plays in New York this year.
Oh wait. Nevermind.
I'm coming home for the weekend to perform in this... I have discount tickets... write me if you want one...
Analyzing surveillance data procured by a tiny hidden camera disguised as an amulet worn by a pretty girl at a party...
PS- Hey Rob, check out the product placement...
Quick, go read this before the buzz starts... it's a bitchslap to the Times's theatre coverage, Brustein-style. Yowch. And hurray.
ADDENDUM: I see Playgoer beat me to it a week ago, with characteristically insightful commentary...
ADDENDUM 2: The comment about Sarah's play is completely dumb and wrong.
Next week's reading at the Playwright's Foundation in San Fran...

Treat no. 1: Quenching your hunger for spin from within the bowels of the country, I bring you... an UPDATED LIST OF EXTRACTED WORDS ABOUT MY WORK.
Now you're thinking, "surely she can't be as amazing as they all say..." Well, let's put it this way. The good reviews get more air time. The bad ones get more ellipses. But all are welcome on Sheila's Page O'Spin. And I take particular pleasure in turning lemons into lemonade, my friends. (That'll show 'em for not liking getting my work. Mwah-ha-ha.)
Treat no. 2: Ken Urban-- a gentleman, a crusader, and a phenomenal talent. Welcome to the web-o-sphere, my dear colleague. And good luck with your show.

oh baby i have got a magic trick that i'd like to perform for you
and every time i whisper in your ear you'll know it's true
don't believe a word i've ever said to you
having said what i just said it's your turn to say you wanted to
cause all along i knew that we would blossom into deux
in the back of my mind i'm in bed with you
don't tell me no now honey,
i need you more than maybe
you call it love but pressure calls it lust
i don't think you really care that much
what can i say, i feel it's something that i just had to do
imagine the worst and it's probably coming true
i will do my best to ensure all is ruined
don't tell me no now honey,
i need you more than maybe
you call it love but pressure calls it lust
i don't think you really care that much
i'm not with you, now i'm with you
i'm not leaving, now i'm leaving with you
i'm not with you, now i'm with you, i'm so confused
i'm not leaving, now i'm leaving, you
i hope you know that i'm as close as your girlfriend is far away
and i have every intention of getting in the way
well, that's just how the game is played these days
too bad for you pricks like me, well they come and go everyday
they wreck your fucking life and fuck your wife then run away
till the day i die i'll always stay that way
Just in time for Easter... an enormous chocolate Jesus.
Nothing like an emaciated edible Savior to get the galleries all a-flutter... too easy?
[Thanks, Sue!]
This...
plus this...
plus this...
plus this...
equals this:
... however fleeting.
Which in this case, is very.
:(
See you in Kansas.
