...flower, as well as a zombie-like trance induced by mechanical mental machinations. The phrase, "meditation is good for you" is about as meaningless as "milk is good for you." What kind, how much, and how often are qualifiers that are needed to validate such vague claims. Richard St. Clair...
That's fine, reckless advice for any person, any writer. The surprise is that McNally, 54, took his own dare. He is, after all, best known for the zippy romance Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune (which became a movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino) and the funny-poignant Lips Together, Teeth Apart (which is now playing in Los Angeles). Among his dozens of plays are daft farces (The Ritz, Bad Habits), an Emmy-winning TV play (Andre's Mother) and a clever sitcom (Mama Malone), but nothing so eloquent, capacious and true as A Perfect Ganesh...
Other events included a discussion on documentary filmmaking, an homage to French director Ren* Clair and a seminar on film exposure given by Eastman Kodak. The Boston premiere of "In the Soup" at Coolidge Corner's antique theatre closed the festivites. As the antic story of an aspiring independent filmmaker driven to crime to fund his work, Rockwell's film proved a fitting close to a work-shop.

Adam Feldman's Morgana Prettiface, a flaming cornerstone of the production, rivals Joan Collins seductively bitchy Alex is (the Dynasty gay icon of the 1980's)--she's wonderfully charming because she's so delightfully evil. Bart St. Clair delivers his performance with great finesse, versatility, and fun. And Brian Martin's Tess provides a colorful parody of New Jersey chic, which leaves an indelible (indewibo) impression (impweson) upon the unsuspecting critic (cwidduck). In fact, most of the female leads display a refinement of drag seldom witnessed beyond the confines of Manhattan and San Francisco. They work it and they...
...only a few notable exceptions: Mr. Geyer and Mr. Berman) are out gay men. Adam Feldman's smile brightens the entire stage while his intriguing wickedness provides the dramatic tension (Wilde: "wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others.") Bart St. Clair easily wins the heart and earns the laughter and admiration of the audience. And Brian Martin's nosy, gleaming, gum smacking support buttresses the entire plot. I offer three snaps, air kisses, and a curtsy to these fine actors. To the rest of the cast and everyone else...
