SUNDAY TRIVIA
I have posted this one before and it is one of my favorites. So if you know the answer from the previous time please allow someone to answer it.
This playwright wrote three plays that were produced on Broadway. One in the 60's, one in the 70's and one in the 80's. Each played one performance.
The play in the 80's also is notable for something else in Broadway history.
Name the playwright, the plays and what it is notable for.

Any idea when the recording with BD Wong will be released? I put money into it on Kickstarter.
About halfway to church, Richard looked over at me and said, "Where's your Mother's Day present?"
I said, "Where IS my Mother's Day present?"
He said, "It's at home in my desk!"
Well, it's around my neck now - a beautiful, delicate necklace of multi-color stones that I admired in a downtown gallery a week or so ago!
Happy Mother's Day. I posted this last year, but here it is again.

Fred, great song! But when I clicked on the link for the YouTube video, I got the message: "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn More" I was able to download it as an .mp4 file and listen to it that way, but I couldn't watch it directly from YouTube. I hope it's only a temporary glitch.

Very nice picture, Jrand!
Thanks for the alert re the HERRINGBONE demo. I have no idea why it's happening, but I see it's happening from other computers.

Trying to post a Mother's day photo. I'm not sure what that is on my head - a yarmulke, maybe?
Mom's undecided about going to the wedding...
Boo is now curled up sleeping in my lap. She was so excited to have so many windows open, it was darling.

I'm debating whether to go to graduation or not. I'm not a great one for ceremonies and did not go through my undergrad ceremonies with the other 13,000 graduating. This will be a much smaller affair, but it will be in upstate New York. So, I'll have to fly.
My friend Carol has a time share in New Hampshire for the week, so I'll be able to spend three days there.
Those are the pluses, I see. The minus: About $500++ for the ticket.

Just do it.
DR vixmom - glad you recovered your phone. We're going to have to tie it around your neck with a string. :)
FJL great news about Herringbone, both the recording and the production. I too am a backer and I look forward to my cd! (and hope I can have it autographed if Mr Kennon is available for such things)
I would have liked to go to that concert last night, BK. Sounds like there were a lot of good performances. I think it's the only time Jason Gould has performed other than with his mother.

DR Ginny, I believe you saw "The Grass Harp" at Ann Arbor. Do you still have your program?
My father took the photos so I don't know why I can't find any early ones of just my mother with me. There are plenty of her with my two older siblings-the downside of being the youngest I suppose ;D
Ginny your necklace sounds beautiful please post a picture of you wearing it sometime

Indeed I did, DR Elmore, and I'm sure I still have the program. Why do you ask?

There are no baby pictures of me. The youngest photo of me was when I was five years old and I was doing THE LITTLEST ANGEL. Maybe that is why I kept doing theater.

Decided to treat myself to a chocolate peanut butter thing at K's Donuts - alas, one person came in and bought them all this morning. A pox upon that person - seriously. But I got one of their chocolate whipped cream things instead - so no pox upon me - seriously.

If someone comes in and buys them all why don't they make more?
Lost Booksellers of New York

Anyone been to his bookstores in Archer City, Texas? DR John G.? I have, once, and I think he's since had to consolidate the four stores into one, but it's an incredible way to spend a day, and a fine excuse to drive through some Texas farm and ranch country. Not to mention, walking the town that's both the inspiration and filming location for THE LAST PICTURE SHOW (and TEXASVILLE).
Here is a clue:
The first lady of the theater.

Vera Charles?
DR Ginny, I believe you saw "The Grass Harp" at Ann Arbor. Do you still have your program?
Indeed I did, DR Elmore, and I'm sure I still have the program. Why do you ask?
Can you scan it and send it to me? I need cast and musical program.
My father took the photos so I don't know why I can't find any early ones of just my mother with me. There are plenty of her with my two older siblings-the downside of being the youngest I suppose ;D

Were they lost or did your parent's not have a camera?

The answer is Oliver Hailey.......playwright
The plays:
First One Asleep Whistle 2/26/66
Father's Day 3/16/71
I Won't Dance 5/10/81
And I Won't Dance was the last play to be at the original Helen Hayes Theater which was one of five theaters to be torn down for the Marriot Hotel
Hence the clue reference to the first lady of the American Theater
Now I relax from now until bed - with one short visit from the director of Overlord who's picking up some CDs today to take to Cannes, where the film is being shown in their classics series.
We will miss the show ALMOST HUMAN.

I am listening to what will be the most important Kritzerland release of the year - another incredible "save" as was Place in the Sun. This is something no one would ever have thought would see the light of day - the only existing material on this film was a set of acetates from the composer's estate - acetates that were problematic and in such disarray in terms of takes and bits and pieces that no one ever thought it could be sorted out - well, it has been and the results thus far (I'm a third of the way through) are no less than astonishing.
