Wendy Wasserstein

Playbill posted this story Friday, so it is hardly breaking news by now in the theatre world that Wendy Wasserstein is currently hospitalized with very, very serious lukemia. Reports had been circulating, in fact, throughout the rehearsal process of her just-opened play Third, that she didn't look well and needed a cane to walk.

Playbill certainly makes the situation sound dire. If you know how, send some good karma her way. To boot, she is a single mom of a six-year old girl.
