There didn't seem to be a ticket to be had for this one - every performance sold out - but I braved the (efficiently-run) cancellation line with a friend and we got in. I can't review Summer Play Festival shows (psst! I enjoyed this one quite a lot) so, in these last days of the Festival's fourth year, I'll say instead how thankful I am for SPF and for the environment it creates: emerging playwrights get to see their work professionally produced in a "protected" environment, and audiences get to have a look for the price of a couple of lattes. Taking in *anything* at the SPF is a great big I Love New York moment.

Has anyone seen Missing Celia Rose this week?
ReplyDeleteDon't think so. I think I'm the only one of us here hitting the SPF plays (except that David also saw minor gods) and I had to give away my Celia Rose tickets earlier this week last minute. I might get to see it tomorrow. It's Jaime-recommended.
ReplyDeleteMaking me feel all guilty about missing SPF... but there's also UZ, MITF, EtE... so much. And we haven't even hit the Fringe yet.
ReplyDeleteCelia Rose is totally the show to see.
