Oh, that’s *much more* prominent than all the print/digital ads I saw.

Thanks, Nancy! Brian’s work was *gorgeous*

A fantastic performance. Brian brought such depth and humanity to the role. I feel very lucky to have known his work so well—and to think back on all those extraordinary collaborations with him over the years: Miller, O’Neill, Brecht, and so much more. He was one of a kind.

Hey, that was my production - thanks for your kind words. It was a remarkable group of artists.

Anne Bancroft would have been 95 today. One of the great actresses, one of the great marriages—and here she is with Mel Brooks, singing “Sweet Georgia Brown” with exactly the kind of lunatic elegance you’d hope for. youtu.be/JM7WG9C5HTg?...

Barefoot in the Park — young Simon, pure comic snap and romantic chaos. The Sunshine Boys — middle Simon, funnier and meaner: ego, age, resentment. Lost in Yonkers — mature Simon, where the laughs sit right next to real pain.j

A few weeks after opening Don Giovanni in an almost 3,500-seat opera house, I’ll be back in a 35-seat Chicago storefront, directing a new play at Redtwist Theatre. Very different rooms and very different work. I’m greatly looking forward to both. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/08/25/c...

I suppose it’s time to retell the story of passing a man bundled to the eyes in a blizzard on 8th Avenue and thinking, That’s Jack Weston. “Hello, Mr. Weston.” He looked at me and muttered, “It’s Jack Warden, asshole.”

Now that I have your attention… My 2013 production of Don Giovanni returns to open Lyric Opera of Chicago’s new season. A favorite production, a terrific new cast, and the great pleasure of spending my days in a rehearsal room surrounded by Mozart. And yes—that’s the great soprano Marina Rebeka.

A sad and disturbing New York Times piece today argues that friendship itself is becoming a luxury good—dependent on having enough time, money, stability and freedom to sustain it. When basic human connection becomes a privilege, something has gone badly wrong.

Northwestern University admin accepting $35 million for the football program from MAGA donors Dick and Liz Uihlein while also shuttering the African Studies program and its 80-year-old history is a pretty good encapsulation of higher ed in the US.

I love that she did. Nutty as a fruitcake and an absolutely original artist.

Both I’m sure. I only saw this film a few years ago and it knocked me out. But - a hard watch. Excruciating at moments. but truly a very personal work of art. So, no surprise she stashed that negative away!

Fun poster. Great movie. Showed it to the kids when they were young and they loved it. Their second favorite B&W film - Number one: Some Like it Hot.
