Until the New York Times Says So . . .

I have sometimes heard that "you are no one until your name appears in the New York Times." My name has yet to appear although I personally know several people whose names have appeared in print there. I guess we can add another name to that list.

Firestone Theatre alum Eric Magnus recently appeared in the play Astronome: A Night at the Opera under the direction of Richard Foreman. The theatre company is the Ontological-Hysterical theatre and the avant-garde play was reviewed in Saturday's New York Times. Eric is not mentioned by name in the body of the review but he is noted as a member of the company in the details at the end of the article. It is not an especially positive review but it seems like an interesting piece of theatre if you happen to be in the city. Check out the review here.

Eric is one of the people in this picture that also appeared in the Times. I can't tell which for sure.
