I had imagined that I would update this space all the time, but the truth is that I forget I’m supposed to do it, and I don’t post anything for months. Oh well.

Good things are in the works for this winter and spring. I’m in preproduction for MILK by Emily DeVoti, which is being co-produced by New Georges and New Feet at HERE, starting performances April 26. It’s a beautiful play – I’ve been working on it for years. We have great designers and are putting together a wonderful cast, including many who have helped us develop it. More details when I have them.

On March 8, I’m directing a reading of one of my favorite plays I’ve ever directed: MAIDEN VOYAGES by Honor Molloy and Bronagh Murphy. It was the first play I ever directed for New Georges at the old, decrepit Beckett Theater in 1992. We are doing the reading for the Working Theater’s 25th Anniversary season, featuring songs by Grammy winner Susan McKeown (who was in the original cast). The reading will also be a tribute to Bronagh, who died of cancer far too young last spring in Ireland. Again, all the specifics when I have them.

Other than that, trying not to get too discouraged and depressed about Haiti, Massachusetts, health care reform, unemployment, the stupidity of the American electorate and all the other ways the world is falling apart. But who isn’t?
