"Everything is lit up with an ultimate goodness..."
"The
Balcony" at the Old Mint recap: nine shows, most of them sold out in
advance. Listed as #1 on a list of things to do Valentine's Day weekend
in the San Francisco Chronicle. And with a few sweet write-ups online,
including this one and this one.
I
loved working on this production, with its brilliant site-specific
staging and incredible costumes and best of all, talented and vibrant
cast of friends old and new. Through these performances, I remembered
why I loved theater so much in the first place; how magical it can be,
how transformative.
And
also how insightful. After all, playing a giant hot-pink horse?
Typecast again. Neighhhh! Time to eat another yellow apple. General,
good night.
