It has been a busy week for arts news and activities: Philly, followed by the Jeune Lune news, CTartscene‘s curiosity-piquing blog about Citywide Open Studios, then a literary reading for the new book Dirty Words at Green Street. Kicking off the Arts in the Garden workshop with artist David Brown of the Hay House, and the discovery of Big Picture on Boston.com.

Faced with so many choices, I ended up interviewing Mike Donahue about his production of The Who’s Tommy at Yale’s Summer Cabaret. Donahue, a fellow Volksbuehne fan, is heading to Berlin this fall on a Fulbright.
