NYC

Went to NYC this past weekend to audition for L.A.M.D.A. (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art). The audition went well, but it was also my FIRST TIME in the city! Went to see "A View from the Bridge" with Liev Schreiber, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Hecht; the show was pretty amazing. Very heartfelt, down to earth, and dangerous at the same time. A man also had a seizure a few rows ahead of me towards the end of Act 1 and Michael Cristofer, playing Alfieri, was onstage speaking, and handled it very well. Immediately he turned his attention to the man in the mezzanine, and kept his gaze focused there as people called for a doctor. In about ten minutes, the man who had had the attack was on his feet and was ushered outside to an ambulance. The play continued seamlessly.

This has little to do with Wal-Mart. I suppose, culturally, maybe. There are no Wal-Marts in Manhatten, at least, not that I saw. I did see a lot of family owned delis and markets where people could buy small groceries, and one larger grocery store near the Brooklyn Bridge. The only parking lot that I saw in the city was at this grocery store.

Anyway.
Love,
Clellan
