About Me

My photo
Solange De Santis
New York, NY, United States
I am an arts journalist who takes blog readers into a wide variety of theater - from Broadway to schools, from off-Broadway to play readings. I also write plays, direct, design sound and play the piano. I have been hopelessly, absurdly, illogically in love with theater since my first Broadway show, the original production of My Fair Lady. And yes, I was a mere child at the time. From this blog, I hope you will gain news, insight, smiles, food for thought, opinions and a sense of why theater is one of the glories of being alive.
