eventful.

this weekend i had to distinct pleasure to not only represent my graduate campus at open house and participate in my first roundtable discussion, but i also managed to see an open rehearsal for a new off-broadway show, port authority while i was spending my day upstate. to be honest. i really felt like an old lady as i spent my saturday in dobb's ferry and pleasantville. i went to numerous antique shops and fairs. went to a tea room. made friends in the pleasantville book shop, got sunburnt and felt very sophisticated, to say the least.



as per this. conor mcpherson, let's face it, never fails to doubt or let anyone down. this is another example of his moving, heart-wrenching peices of art. the psych grad student in me is doing dances because the overall themes and plot summaries and how all the characters suffer the same EXACT! problems at different stages is portrayed in such a beautiful and remarkable way. and there is no doubt in my mind that the casting was an exceptional choice. i was moved to tears a few times during the show, and that was just at the open rehearsal!! can you imagine. previews are still a few weeks away, so the actors can do nothing but better themselves from this point forward. i was floored by how amazing the content was bought to life.
suffice to say, i am counting down until opening night and crossing my fingers i can have a run-in with conor one day. he needs to know how remarkable and inspirational he is. and thanked, for all the beautiful things he writes. i urge all of you, to support this show that is bring produced by the atlantic theatre company. i cannot talk it up anymore. it's unlike any other.
