Heard from Michael Portantiere at Theatermania a few minutes ago that he is having major server problems. (We've all been there!) With their focus on theater in other cities necessitating changes on their front page, people have been jittery about the future of the site. Michael assures me it is nothing. Because of this, they're a bit behind in posing some new reviews, columns, etc. Charles Nelson's column did not go up on Friday as scheduled and, partly because today is a holiday, Filichia's Monday column will not go up today. Michael is really hoping to post all of the overdue stuff tomorrow.
