Good morning, Andrea and I recently spent a long weekend in New York with some dear friends. Besides the many sights, sounds and meals (okay, so I’m a foodie…), we went to the theatre and saw three plays. Sometimes, one sees several plays and there is one that is lacking in some way. In this case, all three were home runs. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to see several more plays that looked similarly promising. Broadway is back and the options—the diversity of playwrights, productions, and stories—are refreshing and exciting. Each of the plays had meaning and message. In each of these three productions, the messages were apparent, nuanced, but not forced. Too often, it seems that in many movies, the writer wants to hit us over the head with a two-by-four, repeatedly pounding in the message.
