    First things first: Episode 1.3 of Martinis with Nick went live yesterday.  If you hop over there, you can check out playwright Jacqui Goldfinger talking about the Foundry (the program she co-founded) and using the word “quixotic” to badmouth me.  Good times. Second things second: Aurora and I checked out Theatre Exile’s production of Edward…

    Good morning, theater-lovers! As you know, I’ve been beaucoup busy with the new site, Martinis with Nick.  The second episode went live yesterday, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, you definitely should.  Stage manager Margie Price talks about some questionable theater-related wagers. But I’ve been busy doing other things, of course.  On Saturday, I…

    All right, then. The super-secret project I’ve been teasing for the last two months has finally seen the light of day in a flurry of public reaction that rivals VE Day, the first moon landing, and the revelation that Vader is Luke’s father. My new project is called Martinis with Nick, and if you hop over…

    Earlier this week, PlayPenn announced which plays it will be developing and presenting this summer, and I’m excited to see that James Ijames is among the selected playwrights.  James is a local playwright whose play, The Most Lamentable Trial of Miz Martha Washington, had a kickass reading at Playpenn two years ago (and was produced by Flashpoint…

    So, last Wednesday I got a chance to see Moon Cave, by local playwright Douglas Williams.  I don’t know Doug very well, but I’ve met him a handful of times, he hangs with the cool kids over at Orbiter 3, and he seems like a fine, upstanding such-and-such.  This is his first, professionally-produced play, so beyond…

    Last weekend, I hosted a visit by fellow playwright, Jacqui Goldfinger.  After mixing a pitcher of martinis and cooking up a batch of mushroom risotto, we brashly taunted one another, super-villain-style, while brandishing glasses of cold vodka. While I’m loathe to promote such a talentless hack as Ms. Goldfinger, I feel the need to mention…

    Last weekend saw more movement on the super-secret project I’m working on with Tony Sortino.  As you can see from the photo, it involves me wearing a tuxedo and eating dinner with Margie Price.  The jukebox behind us merely adds to the swankiness.  And hey, how about that vintage chrome martini shaker?  Swanky.  And, even…

    The Oscars were last night, and Aurora and I celebrated in our typical fashion of chilling a bottle of sake, ordering a bungus-load of takeout sushi, and kicking back on the couch for a five-hour movie-loving love fest.  This year, we were joined by our friend, Tony Sortino, Philly’s go-to guy on all beer-related knowledge,…
