Hilarious and Human
I purchased the play after seeing it a few years ago. It has moments when your eyes tear up from laughter (a character mentions getting turned on by a documentary on animal mating habits), and also moments when the characters feel entirely vulnerable and human (the woman tells the story of how she discovered her ex cheating on her). There is enough foreshadowing that I had an idea of where the ending was headed, but others in the audience audibly gasped at the final twist.

For those out there interested in reading this play for the possibility of producing it, do it. It's a great show. The scenes and sets are supposed to flow into each other, so it's ideal for a small space. The biggest downfall is that the cast has 1 female role and about 4 male roles (thus perfectly perpetuating the claim that only 20% of roles in theatre are for women). That said, the female role is the main character, and it's a juicy role if you have a great actress for it. Two of the male characters are large roles, and the others are minor characters.

If you are an actor looking to buy this play for potential monologues, I wouldn't. The female character has a couple of great monologues (including a plea for donations to a public broadcasting network in which she claims that Big Bird will die if they don't get enough money), but as with any great monologues, they're horribly overused for auditions. There are a couple of shorter monologues for the men, but they seem tricky to use out of the context of the play.

If you are looking for scenes to use (for classes or for competitions), this one has male/female scenes, and male/male/female scenes, but that's it.

It's one of my favorite plays to read. I recommend picking it up.

Well written, Funny
Apartment 3A is a fast paced, funny, perfect-for-small-theatres play about a woman's coming to love amidst self doubt, work hatred, and ghosts. Very well written dialogue leads to a surprising denoument. Impressive from Daniels. Recommended. ... Read more

Book Description
What a lush garden! Imagine the berserk beds that could sprout Koons' polychromed wood begonias next to Warhol's Matisse-adrift-on-Monet silkscreened petunias. This smart volume plants Koons' mostly sculptural exploration of the flower motif alongside a history of Warhol's serialized prints and drawings of the same from the 50s, 60s and 70s. ... Read more

Automotive history
The history of cars is mostly the history of engines, at least to those in the know. This entertaining chronology of non-racing engine development, organized by era, country (often European) and company, discusses hundreds of engines--most of which are long forgotten, so some skimming is allowed--in terms of bore and stroke, valve and camshaft placement, etc., in a very easy to read style. There are also tales of good engineering which did not prevail, due to, for example, British tax laws based on piston area instead of displacement, or the Twenties' inexplicable clamoring for straight eights over the superior vee configuration.

A lot of history is passed along. Cadillac always built V8s, Buick always OHVs. Hemispherical combustion chambers go back to the Thirties. Most of the engines I was curious about were included: VW Beetle and Golf, Citroen DS 21, 12-valve Accord. It ends by discussingthe trends towards multivalve engines and variable valve timing, and is overall a very skillfully written reference book. ... Read more

Breezy style
I can't imagine a better survey of modern car technology. It's asreadable as a magazine article but more substantial. The author easily explains the engineering principles involved in suspension, brakes, steering, and so on, then describes the current state of the art, and finally offers a glimpse into the future (individual electric motors for steering, brakes, AC, even valves). This is a very interesting book. ... Read more
