The Daily News

Ms. Haubenstock's review of "Chapter 2" is in this morning's newspaper. Perusing the T-D website, I also saw this little item on the small bump in Broadway grosses this past season. That's good news, I think.

If you are thinking forward toward the Tony awards, Sycamore Rouge is hosting a Theatre Appreciation Party on Sunday, June 7th, where you can hang out with like-minded theater lovers, cheer on your favorite actor or production and just have a good time. I've seen it mentioned on Facebook, though it's not on the SR website. You could probably call the company (957.5707) to get the details. Unfortunately, it's the first swim meet of the season for Team Tline so I won't be able to attend. So I'll be doing my low-key rooting for Alice Ripley and "Next to Normal" at poolside.

Y'all have a great weekend!

Mr. Porter's review of Chapter Two is now up on http://www.ideastations.org/radio/ as well.

A good oppoortunity for Frank Creasy fans to watch him do an excellent leading man turn.

Dave,

Thank you for putting the link to the "Chapter Two" review up where people can read it. This really is a great performance by Frank Creasy and the supporting cast is very good as well.
