I recently found myself on the phone with a journalist who was writing a feature on our 2010 season.  He wanted to know what excited me the most.  I hemmed and hawed and ended up talking about every show in the season.  I’m delighted that at this time of the year most everyone I see wants to know our plans for the summer, and I can’t wait to tell them… unless they ask me my favorites.

Do I like every play I see?  Certainly not.  Am I passionate about every play we produce?  You bet.

Choosing a season is a bit like buying gifts for friends and family.  You want something special for each person, and you want to like what you’re giving them as well.  We work hard each year to give every imagined audience member an entry point and to provide a rich and rewarding mix for those who choose to take in everything on our stages.  And we’re just as proud to be doing a new one-man drama in the Weston Rod and Gun Club as we are to be producing a smash musical revival in the Playhouse.

So forgive me if I can’t tell you what I’m most looking forward to this summer.  Unless I can be honest and say “all of it!”
