Standing on the Corner

Have you seen the lines for Mother Courage (starring Meryl Streep) at the Public Theatre? Whoa! And, you know, I'm a huge Drama Nerd, but even I feel like I have to sit this one out just to avoid the massive Geek-gasm that will occur the moment La Divina walks out on stage at Central Park. A friend of mine actually works at the Public box office, and I can only assume she's getting a major raise after this hysteria. Frankly, I haven't seen this many arty freaks since my good old days in the E.T.W.



Reportedly, the lines got so bad, they stretched all the way from Astor Place to I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change Avenue.



I don't know what that neighborhood is like, but I can only assume that it's where the Bohmerbuddies live.
