Love this!! Great video, thanks for posting.

When I saw it last week it was 2 1/2 hours, including intermission. Compared to iho it was a breezy delight!

I forgot about Lois Smith in Bountiful. God, she was amazing in that show. Also love Peter Bartlett, he is a comic genius. I am excited about this cast.

Thanks for the heads up, somehow I missed this. Got my tix for first preview.

Signature has a new video series on their website, "Angels in America at 20 Years," where they will be talking to people involved with the show since the beginning. The first one posted is a short chat with Tony Kushner - he talks about his views on the responsibility of the playwright and whether playwrights set out to "change the world." Good stuff.

He wrote a love letter to the play -- says it "promises to be the great adventure of this theater season." Can't wait until Part 2!

It will, I suspect, be remembered as the most significant theatrical event of the season, the ...

I take it you're seeing a marathon? 'Cause tix to the individual parts are all $20.

Variety gave Orphans Home Cycle a rave review. It closed at Hartford Stage this past weekend and starts performances next week at Signature. "In his final gift to the theater Foote has created a work of gentle existentialism. It asks: Why do things happen in life the way they do? That Foote's central character ultimately accepts the mystery and finds his own sense of love, home and peace is as quietly profound as a zen master's prayer. Each of the pieces can stand alone. Taken in a big gulp o...
