The other week I posted about the B Street Theatre going to India with their production of Around the World in 80 Days. Today there’s a nice article by Marcus Chowder in the Sacramento Bee about B Street’s first international tour. I shall now magically pull the quotes that are most favorable to me.

“Busfield pitched ‘Lobby Hero’ again and got nowhere. But when he told them about Mark Brown’s broadly performed satire ‘Around the World in 80 Days,’ they were all in.”

Suck it, Lonergan.

 Profits from the Indian performances will benefit the Choice School and Choice Foundation, an Indian charity that builds schools and creates educational enrichment for students.

Very cool.

“’80 Days’ has been one of B Street’s most successful productions. The company has mounted the play two times in the past decade, extending one of its runs due to its popularity with audiences.”

They should remount it every time the Winter Olympics come around.

And I hear the first performance, in a 1000-seat theatre, is nearly sold-out.

Safe travels, B Street Theatre. And thank you for choosing one of my shows.
