Also, you really have to hunt to find the name of the director of the production.



I'm sure Kate Swenson's name as director been on the main Mainstage page, which lists the whole 2017-18 season's shows, for a long time.  She was definitely on the audition announcement in February.

It was a lovely Scranton wedding.  It was outdoors, and the weather last night was a little muggy, but people took off jackets and ties and many seemed to be pleased at the excuse to do that once the ceremony ended and the reception and dinner started.  The evening never cooled down, and I noticed that a few of the men were even in shorts before dinner was served, so I'm assuming (?) they had gone to their cars and changed.  (In case that old Joan Rivers joke about her husband being underdressed for dinner comes to mind, they all did keep their shirts on.)

It was a buffet, so maybe "Dinner was served" is technically wrong.  I only noticed some of the clothing shifts because my cousins (my cousin the groom Karl and my brand new cousin his bride Maria) were very nice about seating me at a table close to the food.  :)

TCB, from what I've seen, they tend to post bios from the next production as the previous production ends. (PROOF ends this weekend.)  At least six (more?) bios seem to be missing; I'd thought the web person was being considerate to the "on time" people, in not hold up posting the bios of the people who got them in on the original schedule until all the bios are in.

The Joan Rivers joke was something like:  My husband came to dinner in a T-shirt.  I said “No! No, no, no! At least go put on some underpants.  If not for my sake, then for your mother's.  Or we'll never be allowed in this restaurant again."

I think the actual classic joke had Joan Rivers saying "shorts" but I thought "underpants" might be a good substitution for telling it on HHW.  :)

Sunday afternoon greetings!  Fr. Richard preached and celebrated this morning for a very small congregation that meets in the home of the deacon and his wife.  She is an organist/pianist and played both for us this morning.  After the service we were taken to lunch at Old Hickory, one of the famous Owensboro barbecue joints.  I think I went there with my uncle to pick up a carry out order in 1974.

That's just fine. Those vocal glitches give the recordings a certain spontaneity.

I have never eaten an enchilada .  To the best of my knowledge I have never even seen one

You're missing out!  Get thee to a Mexican restaurant!

I am afraid my tastes run more to Taco Bell than authentic

Perhaps when we see Desperate Measures in July, we should have a Mexican dinner after?

Works for me!

Love that score, especially when Cullum is performing.

I just realized that a Cinder Edna cast photo was posted on FB. Here it is (not linked from FB, though):
