From 7:30pm - 9:30pm at STUDIO 17 (13 West 17th St) — BCTR presents a limited run of BY MORNING - “. It is a story about buried secrets within families (and those on the periphery of the family home), the mystery that is our parents, the long festering resentments of siblings, and the hurt between lovers that never dies but simply dissolves into our cells.”

WHAT I DID Friday, July 18 Civil twilight haze of the nicest kind outside and, I forgot to turn the lights off. Caffe Reggio is open until four am, so this will be a good place to start. There is always so much time, I noted. There is, actually, not that much time, I noted after that. So for example my sister really likes the opera and so we go to the opera a lot, my one other Reggio compatriate is telling his date. It’s good here because there is no music. It’s good here, because without music, and sober somewhere loud and public for once, you can really hear the chatter. Stain glass lanterns and big glass windows and relics of worship. I tell Amelia she can join me if she wants but she’s sleeping. I tell Amelia I haven’t been having bad dreams. So you feel at home in your house, my old man Reggio compatriate is telling his very pretty date. I do, the date is saying. I do. I am thinking - It’s good to be sure about why you are eavesdropping. It’s good to be sure about what everyone else can hear. It’s ok for now. I’m the only one who can hear at this hour, and it doesn’t seem like much of what my compatriots are saying is secret. Coffeeshop Gossip. I regret most of the times I have become particularly open. In my plans; I am mostly sober; I possess tremendous integrity and discretion. Sitting in Caffe Reggio with a glass of wine and a chicken caprese salad live blogging my early morning. The date next to me got up to leave and they passed off to me, two overflowing chalices of wine. Insane thing to do. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Thinking about who I can call right now. I don't think I have ever been lonely before. Insane and annoying thing to say, but I think it might be true. I make a few more notes. I'm not lonely. I'm at Caffe Reggio at civil twilight alone with two overflowing chalices of wine that I cannot drink lest I get drunk or vomit or god forbid, fall asleep. I sleep with the lights off, but it is already bright through the greenhouse windows. Saturday, July 19 The play last night was nice; one of my favorites - By Morning. Talk of watching geese while they fly overhead at dusk from the porch, tyrannical fathers, a family composed of equally near irredeemable brothers whom I found all to be strangely endearing, and nearly the whole family's mutual gf who is deemed manipulative but not that smart. It ended with a gunshot. I walked down the stairs of the strange theater. My friends were in Brooklyn. My friends were in Flatiron. I was asked to stop live blogging. I said; I never live blog, I write a Diary of Fiction. It all quieted down. You have a lot going for you, they said. I guess, I said. They cancelled my meeting and I would like to not be disappointed. I walked for a while at sunrise again and slept little. This is fine. So you admit you are neurotic, I was told. It started to rain again outside Caffe Reggio. Madelyn says she is not intentionally influenced by any artist but it is like, she grabs the color green! I would like to become very strong in England. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO Wednesday, July 23 From 10pm at Night Club 101 — Jasmine Johnson, Crush Sahara, and Ezra Marcus
From 7:30 - 9:30pm at 236 West 73rd — One of your last opportunities to see By Morning. I saw and adored this play last week. I would see it again if I was in New York. - “Three brothers gather on the night of their parents' funeral in this classic American tragedy by Matthew Gasda.”
