Egypt/Ethiopia

I leave one week from today. Check in occasionally as I update on my travels.

I can't believe I am going to Cairo. A child hood dream of mine, after seeing the King Tut exhibit in Chicago when I was a kid. And just a few months ago in Atlanta with my brother, sister in law and nephew. So cool.

Looking for the Pony Photos

Critical praise for Pony:

"Looking for the Pony ... deserves a bouquet of pink ribbons for investing its dark subject matter with nearly equal doses of humor and poignancy.

It's virtually impossible not to be moved by its depiction of compassion, courage and humanness -- or to resist the high-caliber performances that director Lisa Rothe coaxes from her cast of four."

"...director Lisa Rothe has staged a smooth-flowing, fast-paced journey..."

- Brad Rudy of Theatre Buzz







Performed at 7 Stages, 1105 Euclid Ave
Little Five Points
(driving directions). (Thru March 8)
Cast includes Suehyla El-Attar, Jennifer Levison, Stacy Melich, and John Benzinger.

"Ada Byron, daughter of the famed Romantic poet Lord Byron, was one of the most spectacular characters in computer history. Like her father before her, Ada embarks on a Romantic quest very much at odds with the prevailing Victorian ethic of restraint. Her vision of mathematics transforms stark theorems and numerical figures into rich metaphors and linguistic constructions, thus paving the way for the invention of computer languages."
