"Blackbird" takes flight

There is a piece I wrote in Style Weekly's online edition that talks about SPARC's new building, the Stage 1 company, and the production of "Blackbird" that's going to be at the Firehouse this weekend. A slightly edited version of this piece will be in print next week but you can check it out now. "Blackbird" should be a cool show -- I heard a podcast interview with Jeff Daniels (who starred in the show in NYC) about it and it certainly sounds intense. With that and "Little Shop" at the Dell, it's mid-August and I'm STILL missing shows! When is a boy supposed to catch up?
