Week of Plays

I'm in the week of plays. It's a week I've known was coming for a long time. I somehow arranged my schedule so that I'm attending a play at least once a day for this entire week, with the only breather on Friday.

Monday = Haywire, Hell in a Handbag (Saw it last night. It's great, but I am totally biased because they are all my friends...I could watch David Cerda make toast on stage for two hours and still be thoroughly entertained.)
Tuesday = Amadeus, Chicago Shakes (Last time I saw this show it was being presented by Shorewood High School in Milwaukee. While good, I have a feeling Shakes may be slightly better.)
Wednesday = Caroline or Change, Court (If one more person tell me how much I'm going to crazy love this play before I see they will be punched.)
Thursday = Our Town, Hypocrites (I'm so excited to see this even though I know about "THE THING")
Friday = Breathe. Watch crappy tv, don't even think about theatre.
Saturday = Some play with Brigitte about Robots, or aliens or something. I don't know what it is, I was lured into going with her by being told we could go to Molly's cupcakes beforehand.

Maybe seeing all these plays in one week will warm me up for in November when Daren and I go see the 9 hour play "GATZ" at the MCA which is, from what I understand, someone reading the entire F. Scott Fitzgerald book "The Great Gatsby" on stage with scenes acted out around them. I know it might sound snoozy but I'm actually really excited. Remember when Andy Kauffman sold tickets to see a stand up show of his and then just sat and read the Great Gatsby until everyone eventually walked out? That man was a genius. I wouldn't have walked out though, because I really like The Great Gatsby. Not as much as my friend Sarah, she crazy loves that book.

Ok, theatre... here I come.
