OK my loyal and faithful readers ... let’s get right to the important stuff ... like ...
Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s POETIC LICENSE, exploring how one person's past can shape his art, his family and his future in academia==>A<==a thought-provoking drama where the “truth” is uncertain even at the end.
Yes, hidden secrets are uncovered, characters are a bit over-dramatic, and anger boils over to yelling, screaming and cursing ... still ... the story line is believable and the show is extremely well acted. The 80 minute running time flies by. See it!!
When the show was over I had the opportunity to meet and shake hands with the playwright, Jack Canfora, and that was nice.
When I got back to PHC I prepared (meaning warmed up) my first full meal from the recently opened neighborhood gourmet deli, Well Green Market, which consisted of chicken breast, brown rice, mushrooms and veggies - nice - tasty. I estimated its cost at an eye-rolling ... $6.00. Can you beat that? I think not ...
This morning it is gray and overcast in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In the World ... 40º @ 8:30am.
Billi Pod has a highly “diverse” doubleheader today ... starting with ...
2:00==>HURT VILLAGE - “A hard-edged drama about a soldier returning to the projects in Memphis, where many of the residents, including his family, are being relocated and the community is disintegrating.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)
The running time is 3 hours and the show has received very mixed comments from some of my theater-buddies. It is playing at The Signature Theater Company's newly opened complex located less than a 1/2 block from my building.
Then for the evening is a show which couldn’t be more different ...
8:00==>THE INEXPLICABLE REDEMPTION OF AGENT G - “It’s been 10 years since Agent G has been in Vietnam, where his family and friends were all viciously slain. He’s now come back looking for answers and a good bit of revenge.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)
What isn’t to like about a show whose production company is named Vampire Cowboys? It is playing at a theatre on my block.
I am happy to report that the countdown to the beginning of Spring Training has begun. It is only 4 days until pitchers and catchers report to the Yankee training complex in Tampa. Billi Pod is more than ready!!
There are “reliable” insider stories that The Bronx Bombers are close to reaching a deal with the Pirates that will rid our team of AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi. Oh, we will have to eat a good part of the $33M remaining on his two year contract but it will be worth it just to get rid of him. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!
GO YANKEES!!
