| CULTURAL BRIEFS

Juno is a delightful movie that is an example of Hollywood casting at its best... a colleague gave me a copy of Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife for the holidays and it was one of my favorite reads of all time... American Dream Songbook rehearsals began last night, and wait til you see what the theater will look like!... I was not a fan of John Adams' latest, Doctor Atomic, feeling the libretto was a disastrous post-modern mish-mash of uninspired editing and managed to turn one of the most dramatic events of the last century into a twee curiosity... have just begun teaching Richard III at the Graham School at the University of Chicago to about 25 incredibly-inspired adults, so politics are on the brain... in New York next week for Adding Machine rehearsals I'm planning to see the New Group's production of Mike Leigh's 2000 Years and CSC's production of David Ives' New Jerusalem to consider for our 2008-09 season...
