After the holidays (and my 50th birthday!), we got back in to rehearsals for in^Significant Others (ISO) right away. Previews for ISO started on Feb 1st and when we opened on Feb 15, we were in great shape. It was a real exciting opening (you can see the outside of Theatre 39 in this photograph – Theatre 39 has a jumbo-tron kind of video screen in the outdoor foyer under the marquee. Raymond Hong, our videographer for ISO, has created a documentary comprised of intereviews with Jay Kuo, David Garcia and me mixed with rehearsal footage. It’s a fun video, but sort of weird to see one’s face 10 feet tall on a screen as you walk up to the theatre). The show is doing well – we haven’t broken even yet, but we’re getting close and the cast is terrific. We've had understudies and swings go on lately and they're doing a great job. Ticket sales are growing each week and there’s a big promo event coming up this weekend (March 22). Don't miss this show. Take your out-of-town guests for a truly "only in San Francisco" experience - now through July 31st 2008.

in Palo Alto. Currently, Theatre Q has a terrific production of Paula Vogel’s And Baby Makes Seven at the Dragon Theatre in Palo Alto, CA. Rebecca Longworth has deftly directed Annamarie MacLeod, Katie Anderson and Matthew Lowe on Ron Gasparinetti’s terrific set, lighted exceptionally well by Cy Eaton (count how many lighting instruments you see up in the ceiling and then see the magic he makes with less than 2 dozen lights!). Rebecca’s soundscape for the play is quite good, too. I highly recommend this production playing Thur – Sat @ 8 pm and Sun @ 2 pm through April 6. We’ll start rehearsals for Gross Indecency… a couple of weeks after …Baby… closes. Then, we open Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde on May 29! It will play only through June 22 so make sure you don't miss it.
