Tonight we’re seeing Take Me Out at The Studio Theatre. (You know, I used to live just a few blocks from there, and had never gotten around to seeing a show there until now.) Tonight’s performance is a benefit for One in Ten (a gay and lesbian arts organization you may know as the producers of Reel Affirmations, among other events), and there will be a reception after the show.
Yesterday I called them up to ask about tickets and was put on a waiting list since the performance had already sold out, and then this morning I got a call back saying some tickets had opened up. Score! I’m totally looking forward to it.

[Update (June 15): Take Me Out was fantastic. Thom and I had a great time. He has written a thorough review (with which I agree), so check it out. And see the show if you can (as Thom notes, it’s not for everyone, but most of our readers would likely enjoy it); it runs through July at The Studio Theatre in D.C. Aside: the photo above is of my ticket and the day’s page from my Peanuts mini-calendar, which appropriately enough has Charlie Brown playing baseball.]
i won tickets to take me out when it was here in chicago. it was so random. i was out at sidetrack (a bar) and i won some raffle. all i had to do was pick them up on my way out of the bar. unfortunately, i got too drunk, forgot, and left empty-handed. let me know how it is!
Cutest picture ever.
And I saw “Take Me Out” in NYC and thought it was terrific.
Sounds like a quality night out. Noticed Howl’s Moving Castle on your sidebar, any thoughts? Have been debating about seeing that one…
