Annoying Promotional Materials to Follow

Hello all,

I know what you're thinking: "Oh great...another shameless promotional plug. That's just great. I ask you all for chain letters and surveys, but instead you send me promotional material. Just great."

Well, I'm sorry, but you know...Iraqi children are dying every day...so let's have a little perspective here.

Anyway, this will be fast and painless (that's what she said. OHH! Wait...that doesn't really work, does it...?). Erika and I are doing Uncle Vanya for a new theater company called the "Seattle Novyi Theatre." Here's the official press release, because I'm tired of trying to think of interesting things to say:

Seattle, Washington Seattle Novyi Theatre Presents Anton Chekhovs Uncle Vanya at Act In Class. This production is the child of an 8 week workshop with Honored Artist of Russia Leonid Anisimov. He is the artistic director of Tokyo Novyi Theatre, and the former artistic director of the Chamber Drama Theatre of Vladivostok, Russia. Mr. Anisimovs work is based on the techniques employed by K. Stanislavski during his last years at the Moscow Art Theatre in the 1930s. Over the past 8 weeks the ensemble has worked with Mr. Anisimov and Ms. Bogan, searching for their own personal truth in Chekhovs wonderful play about the summation of life, inspiration for the future, love and dreams, and how large ideas become meaningless.

Tickets can be purchased at the door, or through BrownPaperTickets.com

Seating is limited, so best to order in advance. And, if you want my honest opinion, the show is good. Damn good. So good, that it will change the way you put your pants on in the morning. You'll go "two legs at a time" you'll be so moved. And if you're not moved, well, you'll probably keep going in the single-leg fashion, but you'll dream of the "two leg" idea...and it'll haunt you...
