Drop-Ins

I write from Valparaiso, Ind., my sister's house, where I just pored over the Chicago Tribune's "On the Town" section. Michael Phillips is now apparently a film critic there, with Chris Jones handling lead theater critic duties and Kerry Reid, formerly a Back Stage West stringer, handling smaller offerings (like a production of Sheila Callaghan's Crumble).

I'm sure all these stories are easily accessible online but I have limited time on my brother-in-law's laptop, so I'll simply link this feature and tell you to watch this space for a review of one of the finest things I've yet seen in the New York area -- a lovely end to another freelance year. UPDATE: Here it is.
