Welcome to town, stranger! Looking mighty fine, I must say. By way of introduction, here are some Theater-Words highlights.

Fun is always the best way to start, and for that you might want to check out “With the cast of WAR HORSE,” a little interview I had with those egomaniacal horse stars at Lincoln Center. “Here Come the Royals” is  the chronicle of a Broadway opening night (always a good time!) and “Signs of Doomsday” reminds us that, yes, the end times are near.

For the more thoughtful among you, “ARCADIA and The Grid” interweaves Stoppard and urban planning, and “Sad Summer Shakespeare” is my indictment of those awful classics we’ve all seen (and seen and seen).

If, like me, you’re a book fan, you might be interested in “Down and Dirty,” which profiles Broadway’s “Jerusalem” and the stellar, creepy novel “Swamplandia!” Then, for all you fans of Orhan Pamuk (and gun control)  there’s “Don’t Fire! The Guns Are Loaded!” Even Gertrude Stein makes a Theater-Words appearance, having emerged from the grave to pen the odd “Gertrude Stein Sees This.“

Lastly, there are the theaters themselves. For pictures of a bygone 42nd Street, read “An Adjustment on the Deuce.” “Fading Palace” also has some lovely West Coast theater pix.

So enjoy your stay, friend! Drop on by the town bar when you’re done. We’d love to know what you thought.
