Who's in New York?
The NYC Fringe Festival will host a one-woman play about copy editing. That’s right, grammarians. Your dreams are all about to happen. For those for whom the trees are the forest, the Elements of Style by Wendy Weiner will be a once in a lifetime experience. The website for the play declares, "find the mistakes on this website and win the respect of the creators of this show." Ah, sweet Jesus!
The play will run August 12 through 27, 2005, in New York City. It depicts the writer's experience as a copy editor at Conde Nast, including the "beauty of well-placed punctuation."
The play's Web site.

Dagnabbit, Blogger won't wrap URL properly. If I ruled the world, this would not be so.
I just bought tickets.
Ms. Stockdale,
This is off-topic, but Rep. Jerry Moran is in our newsroom, and he has a godawful loud voice.
gaaaaaah!
On the depiction copyeditors - wasn't the titular character in Kissing Jessica Stein a copyeditor?
And the Drew Barrymore character in "Never Been Kissed."
And the Clint Howard character in "The Paper."
And boy, did that Web site have plenty of mistakes. I'm sure they were all intentional ...
