...finally arrived on Lovell’s Island in Boston Harbor the previous day after taking a bus, three subway lines, and two ferry rides—not to mention waiting for over an hour at Long Wharf in Boston after we had missed the first ferry we were supposed to take. At each leg of the journey, we had to stop and carry all the tents, backpacks, sleeping bags and food we needed for 15 middle schoolers and seven staff members...
...Sixteen Wounded, Eliam Kraiem?s drama about a Jewish bakery owner in Amsterdam who befriends a Palestinian terrorist on the lam, make a stab at Broadway, even though it bombed. Though formulaic, I thought the play had potential when I saw it at New Haven?s Long Wharf Theater in early 2003. But it went badly awry on the road to Broadway, with some misguided rewriting, recasting of the lead role (Judd Hirsch replacing the more credible Martin Landau) and a set that divided the stage into unwieldy halves and dissipated the focus...
...daughter, Pansy Ho, an STDM director, is negotiating with MGM Mirage, the world's biggest casino operator, for a possible alliance.

With Victory, for which Davis auditioned when it premiered at London's Royal Court in 1984, the battlefield is the post?Civil War reign of Charles...
...play for the Sydney Theatre Company. "She dances some days. Like she's trying to jump out of her skin." Indeed, no other Australian city seems to shed its skin - or grow a new one - as readily as Sydney. After all, it's the place where an historic wharf can turn into luxury apartments for the likes of Russell Crowe. And where an old bond store in former working-class Millers Point can transform into a chic theater for the middle classes - the new Sydney Theatre, where Thomson's Harbour premiered this month...
