Great to hear from Crystal yesterday, and also to learn that we've been awarded a $4,000 grant (two $2,000 grants, actually -- respectively from Zellerbach and Hewlett) for The Playboy of the Western World, on the August Oakland Metro show, along with Stephen Clark's Dionysius....
Not much time to make up the roster for Halfway Mark, before heading to Berkeley's Caffe Venezia (which has the Venetian feel of an indoor-outdoor cafe, complete with laundry strung on a line high above from one balcony to another -- good place to do opera someday....) for a way-after-the-fact Cats, Dogs, and Divas cast party w/ Harriet, Suzanna, Maggie, Cynthia, and Janet.
