Oleanna on Broadway

Last night I went to see David Mamet‘s Oleanna on Broadway. I was very excited to see Julia Stiles make her Broadway debut. I have been fan of Julia’s since her movie 10 Things I Hate About You. I got to see her in an Off-Broadway version of The Vagina Monologues many years ago. I [...]
