And what could best take my mind off the thought of my airplane crashing?

Well. Yes, that. But what I got in the mail today will definitely serve.

ANGUS BOWMER THEATRE

MACBETH by William Shakespeare (February – November)

DEATH AND THE KING'S HORSEMAN by Wole Soyinka (February – July)

THE MUSIC MAN (February – November)

EQUIVOCATION by Bill Cain - World Premiere (April – November)

PARADISE LOST by Clifford Odets (July – November)

NEW THEATRE

DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE by Sarah Ruhl
West Coast Premiere (February – June)

THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS by Carlo Goldoni (March – November)

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL by William Shakespeare (July – November)

ELIZABETHAN STAGE/ALLEN PAVILION

HENRY VIII by William Shakespeare (June – October)

DON QUIXOTE by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra; (June – October)

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING by William Shakespeare (June – October)

I'm not as immediately thrilled with this season as I am the upcoming, but I'm not familiar with the names of many of the shows. Whatever Dead Man's Cell Phone is, I'll probably miss it because it only runs until June, and All's Well doesn't start until July. I'm still scarred from my high school production of Music Man and will likely pass on that.

There are hundreds of flights every day and rarely is there a fatal accident, at least with American and (most) European airlines. You really are safer in a plane than in a car.

I don't like to fly, but it's the only way to see all the amazing places and things I've seen. I just keep my mind busy with a book and my iPod and focus on the destination.

Oh, absolutely, it is much safer to fly than drive or even walk across the street.

Interestingly, and here's where Cyrano and I show our divergent views. The 2009 season sounds more interesting to me than 2008. Not that there is anything wrong with the 2008 season (having already paid for tickets and all).

I don't think there's any need for you to buy a membership for 2008 or 2009--the big benefit is the ability to buy tickets early--but when I have more information on the shows, we should discuss them. (:
