| TALKING ABOUT THE CREATIVE PROCESS

Ever since Lisa Portes gave birth the morning after the first preview of her production of Far Away here at Next in 2004, I've known there's something strange in the water at Next Theatre... it seems like everyone we know is having babies!
So, though this blog is more often about heavyish cultural topics, let's take a moment to celebrate three of the most highly-anticipated productions of the upcoming theater season:

Kimberly Senior Baker, Artistic Associate, due in September - it's a girl, her second, and she and actor-husband Lance Baker are ready!
 Melanie Esplin, Interim General Manager (and wife to Artistic Associate Joe Wycoff) isn't screwing around (ahem) - she's catching up to Kimberly by having two babies at once! Our sources tell us that this phenomenon is called "twins". Also due in September. Bravo!
 Later in the season, look for the luminous Heather Raffo, writer and star of 9 Parts of Desire, to bring a little bundle of joy to Brooklyn. Sources tell us that she and husband Matt conceived of the idea while in Chicago for the production.

And finally, who is this question mark? Well, all I can say until she gives me permission is that another Artistic Associate has some big news to share, which will get bigger (and more obvious) until some time in January 2009.

You're actualy waiting for permission on the last one? That really is not your style in regards to pregnant ladies! Are you sure you can keep that a secret? I can count at least three previous occasions where you have done a "Jack Black" on an unsuspecting Angelina.
