Hey Devore, big fan, and am going to buy your book just to see how the weird half lives. Anyhoo, I went to the bookstore sight and there's a big sign next to your book saying 'Support Women Authors'.

Huh?

Subtitle #4 is genius, especially if there is a bear pursuit story in your book.

As a fellow reformed drama dork, I look forward to reading this.

I tried returning to theatre (proper spelling for the context) about 20 years ago in a community theater production of "Death of a Salesman." I enjoyed it but you really can't go home again, so I haven't done any since. Truly reformed.

And yet I see you post about going to the theatre all the time -- you're still part of the family

I’m buying your book for my daughter who was a NYC theater 18 year old when she left Indiana University and went straight to NYC to work in THEATRE. Before that she was a theatre kid since the age of 4 in a local production and participated in the local theatre group until she left for college, where she had to audition to be accepted into their theatre department.

She did produce some off off Broadway plays.

She worked one summer in the Berkshires at the Shakespeare and Company.

Visiting here there was fun. I learned I had been pronouncing “Berkshires” wrong my entire life.

This book sounds so familiar with what she went through.

But now she works in Advertising as a Senior Project Manager and all that education in the theatre enabled that career. She still occasionally directs when her friend writes a play in one of those tiny NYC theatres.

But then she’s bringing it to me so I can read it.

I love your reviews.
