TT: Return of the native (by increments)

Here I am again! I’ve wrapped up my nine-day whirlwind theater tour of New England, and will be headed back to Manhattan shortly. I saw and did plenty of interesting stuff while I was gone, and I plan to tell you all about it–but not today, and not all at once.
Having been absent from the Big Apple for a whole month, I’ve got a lot of snail mail to read, a lot of shows to see, and a lot of people with whom I urgently need to catch up. All this being the case, I’ll share my recent adventures with you on the installment plan, and it’ll be a couple of days before the first installment arrives. In the meantime, I’ve updated the Top Fives, so take a look and see what’s new.
As always, CAAF and OGIC are alive, well, and ready to entertain you–and me–while I find my footing.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to pack.
