loblue126.jpgCongratulations to Susan Smith, Clare Morduch and Whendi Cook. Their names were drawn from among the names of solvers of cyrpotgram puzzle posted on this website to obtain two tickets apiece to The Blue Album the show currently at Long Wharf’s Stage II. Smith, Morduch and Cook are in for an evening of 22 vignettes (stories about being ostracized as “the other”: gay, black, “frigid,” poor…) arranged as “tracks” like on an old-fashioned 33 RPM, with two “sides,” lots of music, a variety of pacing, all hanging together in the end around the mood of “blue.” The winners will see and hear the chorus in “A Walk on the Wild Side” as never before performed, with a darker edge. Two writer-actors, Dael Orlandersmith (pictured) and David Cale, wrote and perform it (the second such show this year in New Haven). “The past is gone,” one of the actors concludes. But the show proves otherwise. It proves that the past remains amid the old LPs on the wall, amid other memories, to be retrieved periodically, revisited. It still hurts. But it can be heard in a new way.

Oh, and here’s the answer to the cryptogram (taken from the play):

If all the world’s a stage
Which obviously it’s not
But just suppose it was
And play

Share this story with others.
