My favorite comment has to be "even lesbo vegetarians think you look hot." This, of course, was said by my dearest lesbo vegetarian friend.

The movie adaptation of "The Earl," a Brett Neveu play I directed a couple years ago, is seeing an official release. More info in the photo below-- click to enlarge. For those that missed the show in it's initial 6-month run, here's a chance to catch it-- for those who've asked for a remount, this is as good as your gonna get for now.
Discovering the World Beyond Broadway By *TERRY TEACHOUT*
*December 28, 2007; Page W9*
"More often than not, of course, it is our regional theaters that are
bringing us the most memorable productions of great plays of the past.
Chicago's theater scene long ago established itself as comparable in quality
to that of New York, and a high number of the best shows I saw in 2007 took
place there, including the Court Theatre's incisive staging of Tom
Stoppard's "*Arcadia*," Strawdog Theatre Company's up-close-and-personal
version of Brian Friel's "*Aristocrats*," and a performance of Nilo Cruz's "
*A Park in Our House*" at Victory Gardens Theater that made me wonder -- not
for the first time -- why only one play by the winner of the 2003 Pulitzer
Prize for drama has been seen on Broadway to date."
