In the Cool of the Morning

For more reasoned, calmer discussions of Scott's post than mine, please visit

Mr. George Hunka and

Mr. Matthew Freeman

for non-rage-filled writings. Good on 'em.

That said, now that I look at everyone else's calm, reasoned responses, I'm glad I bothered to put the fury out there -- I was of two minds about it, and regretted it the moment I posted it. But, looking over other reactions now, I'm glad I chose the less-reasonable course for once.

UPDATED 2.40 pm: More links to other commenters on Scott's post, all of whom make at least one clear-headed point I couldn't, I think . . .

Mr. James Comtois

Mr. Lucas Krech (love the tag category, Lucas!)

Mr. Don R. Hall

and the comments on Scott's original post include contributions from Alison Croggon, Joshua James, and Mr. America himself, John Devore.

until later, best wishes,

David Bruce Banner

Continuing the Kevin Bacon-ing

You were also apparently two years behind me at Tisch (I was in film, I assume you were in theatre, but I could be wrong, as I've moved from film to theatre myself).

...You know, I wonder if NYU's a possibility...did you know anyone named "Krishna", at all?

I looked up Reverie, and basically, you and I have ten million people one step in between us...

Colin, the Reverie AD, did something at NADA in '94, I think. Jeep Thieves was before my time -- I didn't join Reverie until 2002. I've worked at The Metropolitan Playhouse before then and still do today -- and the people I know there have extensive connections to The Pearl.

I'm on a sort of theater hiatus for the nonce (2 solid years of stage managing and a day job made me need a break, plus I'm moving soon), so I'm not talking much about theater; but I am on the nytheatre.com review squad, so I may have some things to say soon. I will friend back, as I'm sure starting some stage managing again soon will yield their own posts of interest (I've commented on John Clancy's blog once or twice with the perspective of an Equity SM).
