Reading the blogs and arts news items from Chicago to discover rumors that Bailiwick Theater is closing and that my producer has already left town. Read a little further to discover that none of that is true, but Bailiwick, by everyone’s account badly managed financially, will be leaving its building at the end of the year. Producer Z receives a host of online reviews, the bad ones quite bad indeed, the good ones concentrating on the fact that he is a kind man. I suppose all this doesn’t make that much difference to Anna Livia, but I was hoping for a more extended relationship with this organization than now seems possible. I was also hoping for a paycheck, but one learns to kiss that joy as it flies.
