"I am going out on tour with Young Frankenstein! Roger (Bart) & I will be at it again! Starts September in Providence and continues to a lot of great cities including Chicago, Washington DC, Pittsburgh and Atlanta."

21 June : Shuler has sent some interesting updates! -

"I've just finished 3 readings :
1. Another Paradise Found presentation w/John Cullum, Judy Kaye, Emily Skinner, Kate Baldwin, and Mandy Patinkin! It's looking very promising for next year!
2. Babes in Arms revival with Rosie O'Donnell. Also likely for this winter/spring.
3. A new musical Sick Bastard by Bruce Hornsby. It's early in development, but was fun!

I'm going to Atlanta to teach some performance lessons from 28th June to 11th July."
