This morning finds me on the Acela to New York for a meeting with the folks at Roundabout Theatre Company. We are co-producing the world premiere of Stephen Karam's Sons of the Prophet together. We'll mount it this spring and the production will head to NY in the Fall. It's directed by Peter DuBois. I'm with technical director Dan Ramirez and associate producer Bevin O'Gara and we're going to check out the Laura Pels Theatre and discuss the production with scenic designer Anna Louizos. Right now we're chatting, reading, checking email, talking shop, and thoroughly enjoying the resplendent views that sunrise affords along the CT coast.
Thus far a truly enjoyable day!

RUINED Sweeps Awards at San DiegoTheatre Critics Circle
from the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle
SAN DIEGO (1/10/11) ---- La Jolla Playhouse’s production of Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Ruined” earned top honors Monday at the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle’s 2010 Craig Noel Awards for Theatrical Excellence.
The Playhouse’s “Ruined” co-production (with Berkeley Repertory Theatre and Huntington Theatre Company) was honored in the categories of Outstanding Dramatic Production, Direction (Liesl Tommy), Lead Performance, Female (Tonye Patano), Featured Performance, Female (Zainab Jah), Ensemble, Set Design (Clint Ramos) and Sound Design (Broken Chord).
“It's rare to have one production win in so many categories, but when we held our voting session in December, virtually every member of the Critics Circle ranked 'Ruined' No. 1, so it was a hard act to follow,” said Circle president Pam Kragen.
Congrats to everyone involved!! Come see what everyone is talking about - RUINED must close here on February 6, 2011
