MONDAY NEWS

Hot off the presses...

We have a new assistant producer coming on. His name is Matthew and we're really excited. It's always amazing to get more people involved. Last year we had Megan and she set a great precedent...we're so busy right now, with 3 productions in the next six months (dear lord), it's great to get new people in the room. People who aren't exhausted. Other new people we love are Brandon Bales (who was in the workshop of Aliens and is playing Ryan in the upcoming stirring production), Rachel Plotkin (playing Laura in stirring), and Shani Colleen Murfin who stage managed Aliens. NEW PEOPLE RULE.

The intern search rages on.

Hilly Hicks Jr. has signed on to write a play for The Minstrel Show. Now the writers involved are Tommy Smith, Michael John Garces, Sharyn Rothstein, Josh Liveright, and Hilly. We are almost ready to go!

Rebecca Brooksher, occasional Shalimar actress (Humidity of Fish reading, 2006) and writer (Preface, 2001), and longtime friend and supporter started previews for her Lincoln Center show this week. Joey and I went to the invited dress. I know better now than to write anything about a show before it officially opens, but I will say that we all support Boo and send her our love.

And Jesse Hooker (Hippolytus in LA FEMME) goes into previews for his off-Broadway show next week. I can't wait to see it. For...ahem...big reasons.

And in other celebrity news, Britney brings sexy back. It's like a car crash. Can't. Look. Away.
