Sharon M --


Perhaps you misunderstood the lighthearted nature of my pastiche of John's 
rules.

I was referring, jovially, to the "Naked Holidays" promise of nudity -- which 
did not, alas materialize, much to the chagrin of me and my friend. (By the 
way, we're both ONLY semi-brachiating at this point, so there's hope for us.)

"...cool N.Y.-style mystery plays" referred, again, to "Naked Holidays," and 
that piece in the evening just before the intermission -- in which a fellow 
is sent on a quest around town. I thought that piece was cool, enjoyable and 
mysterious.

I also enjoyed the way Sacred Fools embraced its lack of ethnic membership in 
that opening sketch.


That reference of mine re multiculturalism referred to, not Sacred Fools, but 
in general, to people on the listserve and local playwrights who are anglo, 
and have cast, historically, mostly anglos (herein meaning whites of European 
descent) in their plays -- but who now decry -- and most stridently so -- the 
lack of multiculturalism in local theatre.  

Hope that clears it up

Yours for more nudity on stage 
(but only where appropriate to the material -- and I'll be the judge of that)
