Some friends go overseas and bring you back a shot glass.

Others bring you t-shirts from modernist theatrical institutions featuring Shakespeare in German.

Thanks mildlybitter!

Next week's maxamoo I get to talk about An Octoroon AND The Heidi Chronicles with mildlybitter and Aurin "Not On Tumblr" Squire

So prepare yourselves because it could be explosive

Looking Forward to a Fantastic February

We had a hard time limiting our list of shows to recommend for February because our theater cup runneth over with interesting projects happening uptown and downtown. But we highlight a filthy musical, some exciting plays, a FRIGID festival, an international touring production that involves audience participation, and we even let Liz talk about her favorite play coming to Broadway.

This is a great one. Yes, I got to talk (or more accurately squeal) about The Heidi Chronicles, but lots of great ground covered: Hamilton! Chuck Mee! U-Boats! My college thesis! Etc etc. Lots to look forward to in February.

Sadly Wednesday did not win the #SamFrenchSelfie contest. So here she is, my Lapine Agile chewing up a Steve Martin classic.

What is your opinion on the usefulness of a Les Miserables-based metaphor in discussing how the glut of revivals on Broadway hurts the development of new plays?

Barricade? Bastille?

If I understood the show,

I’d make better jokes.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban or Of Mice and Men when I was an older child

5.  What was the closing song at your school dances in junior high? (i.e. Stairway to Heaven)

Like we only had prom right at the end of school and I can only remember them playing Lonely Boy because me and northern-bastard led the dance to it because we knew it off by heart

music, certain music. Lou Reed and Simon and Garfunkel mostly but also more recently U2 because as a 12 yr old they were my entire life

Sight because I wouldn't want to live in a world without music

literally nothing, i don't have any cool talents

9.  Favorite place on earth?

my bed probably

10.  What TV show universe would you like to live in, even for just a day?

most of the tv I watch is kind of dark or depressing so I'd probably go with something boring like Parks and Rec where chances are I won't die or get raped

11. Who have you met in your life that has changed your life in some way?

Matt Berninger, Scott Devendorf and Bryan Devendorf

I'm not tagging anyone because pretty much everyone I follow has had one of these and is probably bored
