I'm in suburban Connecticut. But this weekend I'll be in Vermont on the family vacation. What fun. I could conceivably make a Tuesday show, it's about an hour and a half train ride and I AM unemployed. I'll see what I can do.
Ha! That's hardcore James! Don't kill yourself! But if you do make it out, I'd be happy to buy you a cup of coffee after the show and shoot the s#+*! It'd be the least I could do if you motored all the way in from CT to see the show!!! :-)

I'll be in NYC on business that week but i'm not sure the days yet. If i'm in on this Tues, i'll try to wrap things up early and make the exhibit. Drinks available?
As ever,

Ha! No drinks at the show (it's a play), but it's only an hour long and drinks could easily ensue afterwards! Especially if you James make the same show, we could do a Paizo drink-out after the performance! :-)

Cool!
The show is about Andrea Yates' tragic drowning of her five children and is a visceral exploration of madness and how the mentally ill are often stigmatized in our society and not given the help or understanding they so severely need.
The cool thing is that the play is taken from the court transcripts, her 911 phone call, and other public records and interspliced with sections of Euripides' "The Bacchae" (in which, Agave murders her own son while possessed by the Bacchic God Dionysus). The play is very tragic and fairly intense, not suitable for young audiences for sure.

That sounds really cool Nick. I go to plays quite a bit and I would go for sure if I er... wasn't in Australia.
Don't know if you remember a while back I asked you about length conventions for scripts? Well, I did end up writing a play (only a short one) and it's being put on in December. So I'll go to yours in spirit if you come to mine in spirit!

Good deal kahoolin! Hope your play gets a standing ovation my friend!!!

I assure you that I love the theatre, I love NY, and I'd love to see you act, Nick. However, NC is too far away from NYC for me to just pick up and go. (That and I'm 15, so the problems of not being able to drive on my own and not having the income to fly both stand in my way.)
No worries! Next time mayhaps!
I was born in NC! Durham! Go Tarheels!

any other 2 week strech and I would have been able to make it - I'm in Northeast CT - and I have a company picnic sat and wedding Sun otherwise I would be there on a side note - now that you're up this way the next time I'm going to the city I'll shoot you a message first

Hmnn... That play sounds almost like one of your adventures. Everyone dies or has an unhappy ending, and maddness comes! ~gives you a look of "You Wierdo you!"~ Um, everyone prepare to run.
(~grins and winks~ I have a feeling you will do great! Keep up the good work, you psycho!)
Thanks Sharoth! We open tomorrow night! I am very very excited!

Do it! If I have a game going on in town that coincides, you'd be welcome!

Hey, I just might make that...I have to be in NY on saturday to see Stardust..I think I'll leave early and catch the nooner.
Awesome! My whole family is catching the show on Saturday, but I'd still love to say hi real quick afterward if you don't have to run. I am hanging with them for the rest of the day, but it'd be great to meet ya at the very least before I take off! Hope you like the show!

Meh, it's not all bad - we do get a public holiday (essentially) cos he's here - since they need to close down the city for three days for "security arrangements".

Maybe if you gave more notice I could make it over that way for the weekend (SW Michigan here). Of course, as per our arrangements at Origins, I'd have to stop and pick up the Scribe (Is that Craig Shackleton?!?!) on the way.
