...what you want to be in the world that you’re in. Like writing a movie for MTV/Paramount. Can you express yourself, can you do something that’s meaningful, or do you have to run away to New York and be a starving playwright? Those are the kinds of things Shaun goes through. And in the end, the decision he makes is kind of the one that I made: you can stay where you are, and write the things that you want to write, because you don’t necessarily have to leave...
Major General William F. Garrison (played in the movie by playwright Sam Shepard) was three weeks past the deadline Washington had set for completing that task when he got solid intelligence that two Habr Gadir "Tier One Personalities" and a raft of smaller fry were meeting near the Bakhara Market in "Mog." He ordered a midafternoon assault--Delta Force troops roping down out of helicopters to make the grab, Rangers securing a perimeter around the building.

The story begins with the union of Royal and Etheline Tenenbaum, parents to a trio of child geniuses: Chas, a child financial wizard who makes his fortune breeding dalmation mice; Richie “the Baumer” Tenenbaum, a teenage tennis champion; and Margot, a famous playwright who wins a Braverman Grant of $50,000 in the fourth grade.

After living in the Amazon, McKay wrote dozens of plays, including Sea Marks, and the well-received 1999 novel Toyer...
This hokey 1958 Broadway hit has justly languished in dinner theaters ever since. Now, in a radical revision at Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum, playwright David Henry Hwang treats the original like "some kind of weird Oriental minstrel show," as one character puts it, and wraps its assimilationist anthems into a merry multicultural trip from Tiananmen Square to San Francisco's Chinatown. Director-choreographer Robert Longbottom adds a dollop of kitsch--and somehow the mix is funny and clever. It even jerks a tear or two. Broadway, get ready...
