Appalachian Landing

Some personal news: I've moved to Asheville, North Carolina. I'll be teaching theatre at Warren Wilson College, directing at North Carolina Stage Company and continuing my freelance work from a new base! But I'll keep racking up the airline miles hopping up to good old NYC!

But more importantly, we have cows:



The directing year ahead is busy: The Winter's Tale and a new play (rights pending) at Warren Wilson, and Dead Man's Cell Phone and What The Butler Saw at NC Stage. Plus advising a Fluxus project and The Bacchae, and some workshops in the spring at Amherst College (my alma mater).

Tonight, we met some of the new students interested in theatre. Which bike belongs to a great theatre-maker of the future?

    Ron,

    Can't wait to see "Winter's Tale"...one of my favorites. Also, very curious about "Dead Man's Cellphone"...exciting to have a new play in town. I'm always up for Orton!

    I've enjoyed your direction very much and look forward to more...a great talent.

    I'm moving to Atlanta a week from Saturday, which is not too far away...I'll definitely be up for shows!
