• My New Show: “Crazy Love”

  This afternoon, I was thinking ahead a little bit about my new show coming up at the end of the year. It will be my first, all-original production since December 2016’s “Tales of Wonder II.” Not that I haven’t produced anything since then.

• Who’s Romantic, and Who’s the Fool?

  Let’s talk about romance. A while back, I went to the theater to see a play called “Romantic Fools.” It was a local production of an off-Broadway hit (perhaps it was on Broadway at some point – I don’t know.) From the promotional material, I thought it would be a nice evening out for my…
