"I HAVE a slight toothache. I need to go to the bathroom. I'm at the edge of a headache. I'm tired from working 40-plus hours this week and taking care of a husband and three kids and finishing up my novel, and gosh darn it if my middle child didn't bring home a stray dog two days ago."

I ran a nonprofit theatre for seven years. Was what I thought I would do for my whole life, til it wasn't.
Arkansas Times must love me because they now let me review theatre every once in a while.
And this time? A play based on the O. Henry classic, "The Gift of the Magi." Theatre + literature? Yes, please.
