theater with friends and others

Up early for a BAFTA board meeting in midtown.

Back home for color with Lico (formally know as Lyo) at noon.

Then theater at 7:30 with Jill, Shari and Zelia.

I leave at 6:30, thinking I'll arrive early. Instead, I wait 20 minutes for a bus, hit tons of crosstown traffic, and show up just as the lights are dimming.

The play is well-written, well-acted, but bleak.  Neither sunny skies nor happy people show up in this piece of theater.

As we are leaving, Jill and I see Lyn A and Jane.  The four of us, in the late 80's, comprised the first integrated marketing team at CBS. I haven't seen Jane since the department was disbanded in 1989. It 's a nice — albeit brief — reunion.


Before leaving, the cast comes out, and Shari ends up in conversation with Tim Daly, who happens to be a friend from college. 

 

In person, he is far nicer than the creepy (and convincing)  English character he plays on stage — shows what a good actor he is.
