As a result, the serious theatergoer anywhere in the UnitedStates no longer feels cheated if a well-received play closes inNew York City before he or she can see it. Very likely, it willturn up one or two seasons later on the schedule of the localresident theater, in a production that quite often will equal andsometimes surpass the original. I still regret spending $60 towatch a young movie actress -- cast for name value -- strugglewith Paula Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, How I LearnedTo Drive, off-Broadway, when I knew that a smart Minneapolisdirector, Casey Stangl, was about to stage the play at her hometheater, Eye of the Storm. Stangl's leading lady might not boastHollywood credits, but I felt certain she would know somethingabout shaping a monologue.
