  • The Yellow Fever review was in The Sacramento Bee today in the Scene section. We received two-and-a-half stars. The reviewer had some keen things to say, and was very attentive to the social issues that the play brings up. I like that. Check out the review at: http://www.sacticket.com/onstage/story/14111415p-14942589c.html.


    I saw a cool sight yesterday. An Asian girl was playing tetherball. However, the story is really hidden within the context of the environment. She was in the housing projects of South Sacramento. Behind the gates you could see her hitting a tetherball around a tree. I'm sure many people have done that, but for some reason, seeing this girl, happy, behind gates, just seemed ironic and clever to me. It sort of represents the naivete of a child, the pureness of not realizing how crazy the world is.


    Part of us need to keep that with ourselves, in order to just stay sane and maintain some ideals for the world. Ideals to strive for, and aim for, no matter how difficult life can be. It gives us hope. I've always been the hopeful type.
