About Me – Theatre Addict

I am living the good life!  I have recently  retired as a theatre theatre teacher of over 35 years.  I spent those glorious hears in an arts magnet high school – rushing, rushing  off to NYC every school break that I could muster up the plane fair and the damnable cost of a hotel. I would go on these long weekend  jaunts of 4 or 5 shows and then sadly drag myself home.

Then, several years ago, I created a Reading Club at my school that sat down  every week to read/discuss a new contemporary play. After that year long commitment, we all bundled together on a cheap JetBlue flight and went to NYC for my famous 10 day-13 shows-staying at Park Central-eating cheap-walking everywhere Extravaganza . That put a few plays under my belt but the addiction grew even stronger. It came down to either getting an actual condo in the city or going to rehab. And no one wants to go to rehab – really. 

Luckily it was just at that time that my wonderful husband of many years gifted me a sweet condo in Washington Heights. My addiction was complete. I was now beyond smoking, snorting, or swallowing my addiction to theatre. I was now shooting up directly! From theatre addict to total junky!  Now I am free to become the world class audience member I was always meant to be!  These brief reviews are my way of actually remembering the shows I see and sharing them with the friends.  I hope you enjoy – and perhaps you will even comment on the shows if you see them and have an opinion that supports or differs with mine.  I will see you in the audience!
