| PLAY TIME |
Here they come, walkin' down the street: Twenty-five theater
critics and writers, all to YOUR play. Such was the scene with
the NEA Institute in Theater and Musical Theater, which
brought together more than two dozen journalists in Los
Angeles. We took a daily acting and movement class, went to a
play or musical almost every night, wrote deadline reviews
critiqued by our peers and met scads of directors, actors and
producers. Oh, and we ate. A lot. Click on the first link below
to begin your photographic journey.

Maternal combustion
Sandra Tsing Loh keeps the audience
laughing with her account of trying to

Afterwards, a chance to meet and
mingle.

Nap time
Even highly motivated theater writers
need to sleep sometime. Janet and Bob
show how it's done.

Now let us pray that we remember our monologues and

to Disney Concert Hall.

When last we saw Howie, he'd chucked
his career as a theater critic and joined
the Orange Star Dinner Show. And
thus our finale unfolds.

a rousing start.

happens when theater critics take
an acting class.

Write wingers
What fun is doing a review if it isn't
due in two hours and you can't get your
Biltmore Internet connection to work?
But writing on deadline, then critiquing
the work in writing groups, turns out to
be an institute highlight.

Exterior monologues
With one day before performance,
practice for our final acting
