About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: Moving right along

June 4, 2008 by Terry Teachout

chicago-theatre.jpgBy the time most of you get around to reading this, Mrs. T and I will be in Chicago, where we’re taking OGIC to see shows at Writers’ Theatre, Shattered Globe Theatre, and Chicago Shakespeare Theater, the last of which is about to collect a well-deserved Regional Theater Tony Award.
Tonight the three of us are dining with Carrie Frye and her husband. This is a major event–Our Girl and CAAF have never met in the flesh–and you can count on hearing all about it, though probably not until a few days after the fact, since we’ll all be exceedingly busy.
Come Sunday, Hilary (that’s Mrs. T) and I will fly down to St. Louis, pick up a rental car, and drive to Smalltown, U.S.A., for a visit with my mother, brother, sister-in-law, niece, and anybody else who happens to be in the vicinity. We’ll be back in New York…er, I forget when.
See you along the way!
