A play by my cousin Mike O’Malley is opening next week in Los Angeles: Diverting Devotion. I’m going to try to get there in early December for the closing night – but I wanted to give everyone a heads up who might want to go – it opens November 9. You can find out more here.
Mike’s a great writer – funny, human, intelligent. I saw this play in its earlier incarnation 10 years ago at the Irish Arts Center, here in New York. But this will be its Los Angeles premiere!
Oh – and my brother is in it! Oh – and Melody is in it! And … it appears that my cousin Tim is stage manager.
Oh! It’s a hoopla of personal connections for me!
It’s directed by friend Larry Clarke (Grey’s Anatomy fans will probably remember him from the bomb-stuck-in-the-guy’s-body episode with Christina Ricci. He played the friend of the injured man – he was the dude in the World War II uniform – being berated by the wife – He got to be yelled at by Alex Karev. Larry did a great job, had some really good moments.) Anyway – Larry is also a terrific director, I’ve seen his stuff before – so I know this will be a great night.
Anyone interested, you can reserve tickets here.
It opens November 9.
Run!! Go see it!
Dearest–closer to home, we should note that Ian Carroll has a junior recital at Purchase, tomorrow at 6:30pm. We already know what a great jazz drummer he is, but I want to see him in this academic setting. love, dad
I’m not on his mailing list!! I didn’t know!
Ian’s wonderful. I wish I could go.
I know him (Larry Clarke) from the L&O franchise. He’s Det. LaMott!
Kerry was on L&O:CI the other night and did great, btw. I’m waiting for you to show up next.
(You can tell my boyfriend, “Don’t even TRY, Goren!”)
This is at one of the theatres on Theatre Row. Cool. I really need to get over my discomfort with live theatre. (Dont hate me.) Maybe I should try one of these smaller venues. :-)
Rock on O’Malley clan!!!
I was actually on Law & Order: SVU, not CI. ;-) But thanks for watching!
Kerry
Oh, man, that’s right. My bad. I’ve blanked out on all the Olivia-free episodes.
But you were great!
