Hello, everyone.

I am now caught up on the posts.

CONGRATS to LARRY on his publishing success.
I think he has the most interesting dreams of anyone I know--well, of anyone who's willing to share.
 
Lots of good suggestions for my trip to the video store today.

I saw that, and wondered what was up.  Being a close personal friend of Paul and Joanne, I thought perhaps you'd have the inside scoop.  ;)

In any case, those ole' pre-curtain speeches will never be the same again up in Westport.  And they'll undoubtedly be shorter now!  :)

I can't believe I wrote that.

Or that I had to write it.

JOSE, I really think you ought to teach a seminar on auditioning. I have no doubt from your comments that many, many people are poorly prepared. Even the best college program only covers so much material; you have the experience to provide valuable insider insight.

Does anyone do this sort of thing? It's difficult to imagine that there's a single niche uncovered.

Well, I won't be meeting with Paul and Joanne until sometime next week, after I get my haircut.

And as for those for those shorter curtain speeches... ;D

I wonder if Tazewell used Joanne's famous line from her movie debut in COUNT THREE AND PRAY:

"Ya wanted to be rid of me...well now yore rid!"

DR JOSE you will impress Ms Woodward I am sure if you remind her of Lissy in COUNT THREE AND PRAY and ask her about her lovely co-star Miss Allison Hayes.

There are lots of US who do the audition workshop thing.  And there are many people who participate in the workshops.

However, there are many people who go to these workshops, and don't really take away anything constructive from them.  They go, just to go; to say that they've taken a workshop with Mr. or Mrs. So-and-So.

But there's the bigger "problem" of those people who don't think they need to go workshops, that they don't need to keep honing their skills and presentation.  If they're not willing to help themselves, well, there's nothing that any of US can do about that.

Yes, of course. I'm sure that happens in all fields.

Actually some workshops I have found very useful and others not so useful. It depends the delivery, the audience and the presenter.

A memorable line (seriously) from an ad in Backstage from someone giving those auditioning workshops was the haunting "I know what they say when you leave the room."

It is sunny here and almost blinding...

The sun reflecting off the white snow is quite brilliant. Lovely actually. It is in the low 20s (above zero) here today. Reasonably nice for this time of year.

DBF made it safely to St. George, Utah. The moutains were pretty he said  when the came up. He appreciated all the positive vibes.

He drove in snow covered land with the exception of the last 40 - 50 miles into St. George.

Our DS Rob is spending a couple of days skiing in Michigan with his girlfriend and her family.  Here's the webcam from there - he's the one in the red jacket  ;)
