9/04: The Time of Your Life, William Saroyan
11/04: Paradise Lost, Clifford Odets

GOSH, I'VE MISSED A COUPLE OF PRODUCTIONS IN THE INTERIM, BUT NEXT UP:

7/05: The Emperor Jones, which is garnering raves!

Was this by any chance the Steppenwolf production?

I didn't save my Audience Guide from the show and can't add anything, but the term "Steppenwolf" doesn't ring any bells in relation to the production I saw..

OK, where did you see it? Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre had an award-winning production of The Time of Your Life that they took on the road around then. The play is rarely performed and difficult to pull off, but when properly done it deserves a place alongside Our Town, Death of a Salesman, Streetcar, Moon for the Misbegotten or any American play of similar stature.

I saw it here -- same place I see all my plays.

I actually saw the upcoming Orson Welles' Moby Dick Rehearsed several years ago and can't wait for the revival. It's spectacular!

OK, as this is now a pinned journal topic, please do not use it to discuss entries or other topics.

I would still encourage folks to put their journals in their (free, easy-to-use) A&F blogs and link to them from here, but that's up to you.
