| So this play I'm doing, Dice, is this weekend.
If you're interested, performances are:
Friday: 9:00 PM
Saturday: 7:30 & 10:30 PM
Sunday: 7:00 PM.
It's at the Arts Incubator Gallery, which is at 113 W. 18th Street. Tickets are only $5, but we recommend you arrive early, as parking is limited and the venue is small.
I co-wrote and co-directed this show with an NYU classmate. It's six original short plays based on Einstein's life and theories - I'm really proud of it, I think it's going to be really exciting, and the Kansas City Star chose it this morning as one of the seven Fringe shows to see.
For a lot more information, check out the website we've set up at http://dice.thestereo.org.
So if you can... come. | | |

i'm proud of myself.

| i'm posting this here even though i also posted it on my blog. don't expect the same kindness in the future.
• i saw three plays last week. to wit:
"death and the ploughman", which was a beautifully choreographed and astoundingly well-written (if obtuse) meditation on death and grieving, with three great performances. and i had lunch with the guy who played the ploughman later that week. which was cool. it's a great script, adapted from a 15th century manuscript that's been barely published. it's pretty astounding.
"the god of hell", the new sam shepard play, with tim roth and randy quaid in it. i was the second-to-last person to get rush tickets to the show i went to - i literally only got off the waitlist as the lights were going down, and i was the only member of my group who wasn't in the theatre yet (bad luck at rock paper scissors, and general guilt at being a late tag-along). the show itself was good - not shepard's best, and a strange handling of the material. i expected something a little more subtle from shepard, but he was far more willing to create a certain universe which was very blue-state (even though it dealt with midwestern dairy farmers) - something i wasn't expecting from him. good performances, though, and impressive effects (i'm not expecting to see this staged anywhere else). certainly something i'm glad i saw.
"the caucasian chalk circle", an nyu production thereof. not a tisch one - a steinhardt one, which means it's theatre education students, who apparently didn't study theatre theory, because it was absolutely not true to the ideas of the play. it went far more for straightforward musical than VERMFREMDUNG EFFECT, and as a big fan of VERMFREMDUNG (especially saying it), i was massively disappointed.
• i am starting to get addicted to the lottery. so far all i've won is free tickets. i think tonight's going to be my night.
• i finished my final drafts of my one-act play and my ten-minute screenplay. if you want to read them, email me. i like them a lot.
• i really enjoy having my head scratched.
• i saw "tom goes to the mayor" - the new adult swim show, it looks like - last night. it's funny. consider this my official recommendation.
• my next screenplay is about michigan.
• i'm not coming home for thanksgiving, in case anyone didn't know. i'm going to mahopac, new york, with colin and theresa. it should be fun.
• i'm going to be home for a month during christmas. please form a line here if you want to have sex with me during the break.
• no, people who leave comments on my blog, i am not famous or in a band. i just have friends who love me very much.
• u2 was supposed to play a free show in washington square park today. instead, they got on a flatbed truck and played all the way down the island, across the brooklyn bridge, and to a "secret" show in brooklyn. unfortunately, while i could have gone to the washington square show, i couldn't make it to any of the other u2-related activities. fuck you, bono. suck my cock, edge. heart, sam. | | |
