TT: Here we go

Today I drive to Lenox, Massachusetts, where I'll be spending the next few weeks. Rehearsals for Satchmo at the Waldorf , my first play, begin tomorrow at noon, and the show opens at Shakespeare & Company on August 22.

I expect to post with fair frequency between now and then, but don't be surprised if I drop out of sight on occasion. John Douglas Thompson, Gordon Edelstein, and I are going to be incredibly busy, which suits me just fine. I've been waiting for weeks to roll up my sleeves and get cracking. This is the moment I've been waiting for.

Theater people don't wish one another luck--they say "Break a leg" or Merde! I invite you to supply a euphemism of your own choosing. Whatever it is, wish me plenty of it.
