It’s not unheard of to see the same people out at the theatre two nights in a row. But those die-hard audience members are nearly always people I know. This man was new to me. So I introduced myself.
John – whose…

Christy Montour-Larson and Chip Walton at a THINK IT brainstorm
Last night, amid a flurry of emails trying to coordinate six busy schedules to move just one meeting, Founding Artistic Director Chip Walton- who admits to being “a little freaky about the Grateful Dead” and has devoted a fair amount of body surface in homage- laid the following Jerry Garcia quotes on us:
*”Being in the Grateful Dead is taxing in a way that nothing else is. When it’s hard, it’s the hardest thing there is, and when it’s easy, it’s magic.”
*”I keep saying it’s like we’re just…

Dead Man’s Cell Phone, closing Oct. 16th
“…Dead Man’s Cell Phone held my fascinated attention throughout. Curious Theatre has assembled one terrific cast.
