Off Broadway

We went to see the theatrical tribute to Spalding Gray, Leftover Stories to Tell (here's a link to the NYT advance piece on the show). This is the first time we have seen theater in NY that isn't some big Broadway show. It was at PS 122, an alternative theater complex that is famous for its history in postmodern dance and theater. Just being in that building impressed me.

The Gray piece, performed by a half-dozen actors in front of an audience that undoubtedly had dozens of actors in it -- albeit out-of-work ones (they weren't in a show on Saturday night) was pleasant and elegaic and funny.

We came out into a light drizzle, picked up a few things at a deli, and caught a taxi back to the weird condo-hotel-apartments.
