STILL CRANKY
I am a little cranky to be sure, but I am tired of old men telling me about my field. I know a lot of them are in charge. Were in charge. Are for some reason thinking the world needs them to take 2 years to no longer be in charge.
Remember that night on Twitter when we all learned that Oskar's name is Paul?

I'm packing up to leave after a lovely weekend at the O'Neill Playwrights Conference. I haven't been back here in many years, but for a while I was here almost every summer. I was at the beach today where I came up with my Dramaturg as Lifeguard metaphor.

I've abandoned many essays over the last few years. About comedy and audiences and the scary state of theater, regional theater in particular. I care about New York in an abstract way, and I've been proud when shows I've worked on have made it there, because then, indeed, they can make it anywhere.
