1. "The higher the budget, the fewer women directors and the fewer number of plays by women," Susan Jonas told the Wall Street Journal. Topical, no?

2. The story behind My Kind of Town and elucidated in this blog post from Timeline, by artistic director PJ Powers.

3. More on Clybourne Park. The Times has some sort of love/no-hate-at-all relationship going on with that play.
