Ben Shenkman was fab in Sight Unseen! And I saw Anne Heche in Twentieth Century...also fab.
Okay, 'night again!
Oops, I accidentally missed your post in its entirety, honest! (Do you think I would have read about Brooke asking if she could touch your 'spot' without comment???)
Seriously, try to get out of the afternoon with your friends! Tell them seeing a show is important to you, and that you've got a friend in the city who's willing to treat you. (That part, natch, is a lie.)

ellie, we must decide on a show!
what do you want to see?
Night Ellie! Ben was indeed fab in Sight Unseen. I also saw him do a reading of a Tony Kushner scene (got TK to sign my copy of Millenium Approaches...BEYOND AMAZING!) at PU and I got to sit in on the rehearsal. Very, very interesting indeed.
Try to work something out for Saturday afternoon, Ellie. You must see something. Alas, I can't join you, because I've got a class/workshop on Saturday afternoon.
What was TK like?
Ellie, you gotta come! It'll be you, me, maybe Sivon and Nikki...maybe Beka, depending if she comes on Sat or Sun.
He was very cool. They had this event..."Tiny Kushner," I think they called it, doing one acts/monologues, etc. A handful of people sat in on the rehearsal w/ Ben, Linda Emond (from Arturo Ui) Ana Reeder (also in Sight Unseen) and some other guy. They went through it 3 times, and it was fascinating to see how it evolved just in those three run-throughs. Then, after the rehearsal, TK did a little talk back w/ the students, and after he was done, I asked him to sign MA, and he was very nice. We didn't really chat. I just said I was looking forward to AiA (I don't think it had aired yet...maybe it had, but I didn't have HBO at my New School dorms) and Caroline. There wasn't really a whole lot to it, but he was very nice. The actual shindig was pretty cool. There was also a monologue by Jeffrey Wright and Marcia Gay Harden did the Laura Bush monologue scene thing. I can't think of the name...it's very long.
Didn't Marcia Gay do a run of AiA once? I remember reading her name when I read the play a few months back.

I like Marcia. Why is she perpetually pregnant, though?
Because she's perpetually getting laid, unlike some people around here?

Play your cards right, and maybe I'll let you touch my spot too, Tiff. Brooke said it was quite wonderful.

tiff's already touching mine on AIM. i win.
I'll post all the titillating screencaps later. That Beka is a hot little item. And quite developed, mm-hmm.
Yeah, MGH was the original Harper on Broadway.
Somehow I can picture MLP as a better Harper than MGH, but maybe that's because I'm biased, and MLP can do no wrong. (Aside from that whole getting-knocked-up-by-that-duplicitous-eye-wandering-bastard-Cruddyup-and-letting-him-leave-her thing.)

She was so dignified through all that, wasn't she? Love her! Have you seen her on West Wing? She's quite fab.
She was incredibly dignified through the whole thing. And it sounds like she's moved on and is perfectly happy dating her Weeds co-star. Good for her!
I did catch her on a couple episodes of The West Wing. She really can do no wrong.
She's the ONLY reason I sat through West Wing. Never had any interest in the show other than when she was on. But her in 'Proof'...magic. I saw her at Gramercy Tavern last year, and I was speechless. (Well, believe it or not, I actually couldn't place her at first when she walked through the door, and we made eye contact and she smiled at me politely, and then it hit me.)
She's really stunning in real life. When I saw her kicking around outside PU after Ui, I was shocked at how gorgeous she is. I don't know if she's had any work done, but if she has, it's very natural looking...if not, she just keeps getting better looking with age. She doesn't really look 40-something.

She's not 40 something! She's only 40, isn't she?
Gah. I wish I'd seen Reckless.
No, she looks like she's in her early-thirties, eh? She's so naturally pretty. Def my fave stage actress.
Which Weeds co-star is she dating? Not Justin, right?
She's 41. I've read she's dating Romany Malco, and I belive they went to the Tonys together.
Definitely my favorite stage acress as well.

I've never seen her on stage, but if I had, I'd imagine she'd certainly be up there. Come back soon, Mary Lou!
(Isn't Ellie such a follower?)
I was just reading some report on-line that she's a raging bitch on the set of Weeds. MLP..."abusive"??? I refuse to believe it!

I draw the line at following you into the restrooms, Tiff.
Okay, it's now over an hour since I said goodnight. REALLY going now...
