Agents Steal Actors Thunder

Can't get away from Real Estate. Waiting for DeathVariations, an uplifting little play about suicide, to begin last night at 59 E. 59th Street, and of all things to talk about in NYC before a play starts, the two girls behind me are gabbing about what they referred to as their "favorite real estate agent." He apparently works for Citi-habitats and has just e-mailed his monthly newsletter, complete with picture (which they didn't seem to like very much), that covers all of his real estate doings, including his listings, and what he has just rented. Really sad, and almost as tragic as the play itself.
