The Inca Trail, Sunset on Day 3

s the sun sets behind our ruins, it hits only the highest peaks in the distance, setting them on fire.  The Eye of Sauron watches.

The Sparrow

don’t often post about my day job at Stoneham Theatre on this blog, because I know there isn’t much crossover between my gentle readers and the average Stoneham Theatre patron.  However, the next show in our season is FOR you people.  Yes, you improvisers!  Yes, you young professionals!  You cynics and dreamers and artists and scholars!  This is for you!

The show is called THE SPARROW, and instead of duplicating information, I’ll just point you to the official website: stonehamtheatre.org.  It’s a theatre piece.  Don’t be fooled by its superficial resemblance to HEROES (which is a terrible show, by the way).  THE SPARROW is very physical, very visual, very hip and contemporary and smart and all the things you expect from live theatre.  It’s being directed by the creator and original director, Nathan Allen.  The show sold out its original run at The House Theatre of Chicago, then had a critically acclaimed revival at Chicago’s Apollo.  That was in 2007.  We’re mounting the East Coast Premiere this month.

The show only runs for three weeks, from October 22 - November 8.  Tickets are going fast.  You can order them on the website (best available seating) or call the box office at 781.279.2200.  If you order online, use the discount code HELLOSPARROW to get $10 off a full-price ticket.

FURY!

love finding the perfect soundtrack for a particular day.  Apparently, a lot of my recent days have been filled with rage.  Witness!  A small section of my most frequently played playlist.

• Jay Reatard - My Shadow
• Sleater Kinney - Wilderness
• The Hives - Walk Idiot Walk
• Basement Jaxx - Good Luck (featuring Lisa Kekaula)
• Jay Reatard - Greed, Money, Useless Children

Every time I play “My Shadow,” I have to punch through a steel girder, otherwise I might hurt somebody!  True story!
