You are an ER doctor, and you take care of these problems every day. Why don't you have your own Project Unhealthy to see what it is like to walk in their shoes?'"

PLAYBILL.COM'S THEATRE WEEK IN REVIEW, Aug. 28-Sept. 3: 'Yank!,' Brendan Fraser, Denis O'Hare and RSC's Second Act (Playbill)

The last hurrah of summer is upon us, and most theatre folk are less bent on practicing the business of show than they are squeezing whatever remaining hours of relaxation that Hurricane Earl will permit them. (Precious few, I'm guessing, if they are owners of Long Island beach properties. On the plus side, traffic to the Hamptons should be light this weekend.)
