Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

See?

In other news, here's a recent e-mail exchange:

Dear Gil,
Me and my HDA partner are doing you script of dirty rotten scoundrels. We were wondering if you had the copy rights to it or an original copy of the script.
Thanks
Sean

What is HDA? What are you asking me if I have the copyright to? I'm confused.

Best,
Gil

were going a different way thanks for your time and sorry for confusing you!
Sean

What language is that? Surely it isn't conjugated English.

Sorry about that. I never use proper english in emails even though i should

Frankly, your guess is as good as mine.

A google search for HDA provided the following:Hispanic Dental AssociationHeavy Duty AftermarketHenry Dreyfuss AssociatesHigh Definition AudioHolistic Dental AssociationHawaii Dental AssociationHemispherical Deflection AnalyzerHunt Dabney & Associatesand a lot of other companies called "HDA" which did not offer any explanation of what the letters meant.So, I think the two most obvious guesses would be: HDA is some big secret that people involved are not allowed to tell... or he's probably a dentist.

I assumed he (she? it?) was for Forensics (Public Speaking Forensics, not Dead Animal forensics). But try as my might, HNational DForensics Association is probably a stretch.

HDA stands for Humorous Duet Acting. It is an event for Speech (Forensics) which is a competitive sport in high school and some colleges.
