Do you have show dates yet?

Arsenic and Old Lace opened last night (runs July 12 - August 19, Wed through Sat., 2 shows on Sat.). Still a bit clunky though, tonight's show should be right on the mark. About 300 people in the house, very nice. Interesting thing I've never had happen before, my curtain call is the one where the audience goes a little nuts! Really surprised me - actually threw me physically off balance. But I like it! I'll take more, please! If they had only known the drama I was having backstage with costumes and props, oy! A show all by itself, and not a cute one. At one point I couldn't find a prop in the lobby, had to run up a flight of stairs, across the entire length of the stage and audience, run down two flights of stairs to not find my prop. Reverse the process (at full speed in presidential regalia) back to the lobby, to be handed the prop which was cleverly hidden behind a couch, and make my entrance while trying not to A) throw up, or B) experience explosive diarrhea. I finally caught my breath somewhere near the last 10 minutes of the third act. Apparently, I did get a bloody nose, which I didn't discover until late in the show. Bleh.
Anyhow, hope all the LoTers in Socal during the next six weeks can come, it's a fun one, they do everything except actually cut the scenery up into bite-sized pieces for me!

Tell them Jim Barkley said to ask for the $2.00 coupon. It's bully! (and gets you a free soda!)

Well a double good Toot! To you. Congrats on a great opening. Of course now the audience will exepct a bloody nose every night.

Theatre is madness. Madness, I tells ya!

I hope the rest of the run is perfect. No more prop craziness and no more bloody nose.

Break a leg!

I was once knocked unconscious in a production of West Side Story.

During the 'I Feel Pretty' number, no doubt.

Well, playing Maria was no piece of cake, I tell you. My understudy stormed the stage and decked me so that she could take over. She was jealous I beat her out for the part.

Just a stab in the dark here, were you a Jet, Leo? Ha ha. Just kidding. Love givin' ya a hard time...

Doesn't anyone care that I, too, am in a show? Gn2Dlnd isn't the only diva here, you realize.

I'm joking. My show opens tonight. "Surprise" at Theatre at First. I play a psychic. Although, I'd rather be in "Aresenic and Old Lace"... I love that play. I'd love to see G2D in a show, cause he's fabulous.

Last time you were very nervous.....how are you feeling today?

There was a huge debate in the drama department at my University about color blind casting. I've never understood it, really, and it makes no sense. Can an African American or someone who is Hispanic play Tony? I suggested they produce Master Harold and the Boys with color blind casting, but they weren't amused.
