play On the Ground with Evie Aronson, Delia
Baseman, Kevin Bohl, Nicole Shalhoub,
Emilie Unteweger, Allison Walton and T. D. White.
Life is probably too short for
On the Ground, but if you're into odd
dramatic constructions, a little Cocteau, a little
Kozinski, and watching actors fumble for
understanding, then this baby's not to be missed.
March 19 at 7PM, three plays by Kobun Kaluza at
the Seventh Street Small Stage, 43 E. 7th St.,
betw. 2nd and 3rd Aves., $10., Brown for
the Blues, Driftwood, and The Training

ducers Club II at 616 Ninth Ave., between 43rd and

see a casting director fall in love? Ouch. With

February 12 will house within its time, at 3PM,
the annual staged reading of Kobun Kaluza's St.
Valentine and the Wildebeest, at the Seventh
Street Small Stage in celebration of "stupid
Cupid" day. Tom White is now too long in the
tooth to play Earvin according to the powers that
be (Kobun and Tom), so Earvin will be
read/performed by
Kevin Bohl and Tom will "direct."
Jenna Friedenberg has something else (better?) to
do that day, so Emilie Unterweger will bring new
personality to the day nanny, Kirsten, while Evie Earonson will revive her 2002 rendering of
Florence.
