So I don't forget, theater, movies, concerts and interesting people I've met. It's a good life, from now on. Damn I'm lucky.

Ashley Montana Goes Ashore in the Caicos

What a title... Ashley Montana Goes Ashore in the Caicos Or: What am I Doing Here?
The Flea is a lovely little off-off Broadway theater down off Church Street in Tribeca. The shows are directed by Sigourney Weaver's husband Jim Simpson. Last time we saw Mrs Farnsworth, this time...Oh My.
A series of sometimes cute vignettes, Roger Rosenblatt's play is a mess. Hard to follow, kooky, but not in a good way.
What would BeBe Neuwirth see in this script. She was fine, but not necessary.
Jeffrey DeMunn and James Waterston (Sam's son) were acceptable.
Jenn Harris was a hoot. Great subtle acting. Very funny too. After the show, she told us that she played the whole show to us 3 in the front row. Cute.
Meeting Bebe Newirth was like meeting Lilith. Cold, phony appreciation. Maybe she was having a bad night. I expected more.
She goes on the list with Joanna Gleason and Faith Prince as the exceptions to the "everyone in theater is so accessible, appreciative and nice" group of actors.
Jim Simpson thanked us for always coming and supporting his theater???
Fisher Stevens passed by.
Disappointing night of theater and celebs.

The Lillith comment was right on the mark. Wish I had thought of it. I'll give her a pass this time because she is so darned talented and might have been having a bad night or been pre-occupied.

Forgot all about seeing Fisher Stevens. I'm so glad that you write it all down. Will be helpful as I get (even more) forgetful as years pass.

Thanks for driving and for thinking of dinner!
