The Poets Theatre is reborn with a reading at Sanders Theater of Dylan Thomas's "Under the Milk Wood" featuring Cherry Jones, Alvin Epstein, Karen MacDonald and Tommy Derrah. Those actors were last on stage together in Robert Brustein's adaptation of "Lysistrata" @americanrep or so I'm told.

Fun stuff from @DavidAlanGrier and the cast of "The Gerswhins' Porgy and Bess" on Jimmy Fallon's show last week.

If you’re planning a kids’ Halloween party, steer clear of The Day of the Dead as a theme: http://nyr.kr/p5yYj8
Ted Williams had great aim off the field
An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: On Saturday mornings as a boy, Ted [Williams] and one of his best friends, Joe Villarino, would hike up into the hills outside of San Diego and go rabbit hunting, swim and look for Huck Finn-like adventure. “One day,” Villarino remembers, “we was walking around this trail and a rattlesnake come out and Ted shot it with a .45 he had. We laid it aside, and when we came back, he wrapped him around his neck and shoulders and carried it home. Another time, at Dobie’s Pond, there was a kid in trouble. He was about eight or nine. We was about fourteen or fifteen. The kid was kinda splashing around. Ted went in and got him. He didn’t make a big deal of it. He didn’t like to be in the limelight too much.”

And then this happened. We visited a 'big cat' rehab centre. This guy and his brother were nearly dead when they came to the centre. Anticipating your question, Erica Corsano, no I had all these clothes already.
Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.
