unrelated thank you @summerworksfun.bsky.social @theatregargantua.bsky.social for letting me learn a lot about lucky bastards.
In my latest newsletter, I review Soulpepper's OLD TIMES,
@outsidethemarch.bsky.social's RAINBOW ON MARS and a handful of performance pieces at the just-closed @summerworksfun.bsky.social.
I also point out a new monthly sketch series at Second City.
