Showless ShowPlane, Day 2, Thursday
I had a packed day. It began with a late breakfast with Todd Kreidler, former Post-Gazette critic and assistant to the Public Theater's Eddie Gilbert, then for six years the assistant, dramaturg and good friend of August Wilson. So we met at the Edison Hotel, where August always stayed. Todd is a playwright himself and is also working with Kenny Leon, August's last director ("Gem of the Ocean," "Radio Golf"), on a planned Broadway production of the 1967 movie, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." .
RESTAURANTS MAKE BARGAIN-TABLE OFFER
Broadway's biggest shows may be dark, but that's no reason to skip a night on the town - the city's kicking off a Theater District dining week, starting today. "We're trying to do something for the people that live and work" around Broadway, Mayor Bloomberg said yesterday on his weekly radio show. POST VIDEO: Can Disney Help End B'Way Strike?

"I encourage New Yorkers and visitors to take advantage of this great deal and help support restaurants that have been affected by this strike," Bloomberg said. The mayor helped arrange the special Dining in the District restaurant week after reports that Theater District restaurants have seen their dinner crowds cut in half since stagehands went on strike.
