Title: THE RETURN OF THE ROBBY AWARDS
Post by: bk on February 10, 2015, 02:13:02 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes didn't win a Robby Award, and now it is time for you to post until the award-winning cows come home.

Didn't we all vote for the Robbie Awards? I was sure rooting for LI'L ABNER, BK. i'm sorry, but it's an honor being nominated.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 10, 2015, 05:28:47 AM: I don't know if my two ghostly encounters last night were related, but the first was quite strange: after I turned out the lights and settled down, I heard a new sound out of the ordinary and then I was aware that someone was standing over me. Without my glasses, I'm blind so I have no idea if it were male or female, but my impression was that it was tall, slender, wearing bibb overalls, and then it was gone. Then, early this morning, I dreamed I was living with my family in a house with a lot of spirit activity, and my mother, who was in the dream but not the ghost in the dream, had had a very unsettling encounter there alone one night. Then we met the ghost: a little boy named Hayden - tow-headed, white shirt, and bib overalls- who was lonely and liked to play pranks. He said there were other spirits in the house as well.

I also seemed to be in this dream varying ages: my cousins were all still adolescent which would put me in my teens, then at one point I seemed to be the age I am now, working on a project and distracted by the spooks and flickering lights, then I was a college kid talking to my mother about needing to redo some closet space.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 10, 2015, 05:31:18 AM: One of my dreams was a new twist on my old downtown Columbus theme. I seemed to be riding a moped, and I was amazed at what a huge weird sort of highway High St. had become, right at the Main St. crossing. There's more to it than that, but I don't have it in me to try dredging it up.

Well, you may have a ghost or two. I generally don't mind the ones who wander in and out of here, but the ones in the house where I grew up, as well as the ones in my grandmother's house, were very unsettling.

So, DR George, what is this play? The title sounded familiar. Did it ever play New York?

It's called "Laughing Stock (http://www.dramatists.com/cgi-bin/db/single.asp?key=3607)" by Charles Morey. It's not listed at www.ibdb.com, nor the Lortel Archives. I found a short bio of the author at the bottom of this website (http://www.cvlt.org/78thSeason/laughingstock.php):

Quote
Charles Morey has been the Artistic Director of the Pioneer Theatre Company, the professional theater in residence at the University of Utah, since 1984. While there, he has directed more than 60 productions. Morey has directed at various institutions including New York’s Ark Theatre Company and Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York City, in addition to numerous theaters throughout the country such as the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, Meadow Brook Theatre, American Stage, PCPA Theatrefest and Utah Shakespearean Festival. He has written adaptations of five 19th-century classic novels in addition to his two original works, Laughing Stock and Dumas’ Camille.

If she sings "Feed the Birds," it might be my chart. I had to fight like mad for payment.

It's possible, here's what the symphony website says:

Feb 14, 2015

A Broadway Romance
with Ashley Brown

This Valentine's weekend enjoy the sweet and sultry sounds of Broadway sensation, Ashley Brown.
Brown is known for originating the title role of Mary Poppins on Broadway.

Joining Ashley on stage will be Broadway performer, Geoff Packard.

Music from the Beauty and the Beast, the Little Mermaid, a medley from Wicked and of course music from Mary Poppins.

The evening will also highlight American classics like:
I've Got the World on a String
Smile
My Funny Valentine
Saturday Night is the Loneliest Night of the Week
If I were a Bell

I heard from JoAnn: property taxes on that Ohio property have gone up $600/year, 1st half due Feb. 27.

I'm really sorry about this. Did you discuss fighting the increase?

Saturday Ashley Brown is singing with the Sioux City Symphony

If she sings "Feed the Birds," it might be my chart. I had to fight like mad for payment.

It's possible, here's what the symphony website says:

Feb 14, 2015

A Broadway Romance
with Ashley Brown

This Valentine's weekend enjoy the sweet and sultry sounds of Broadway sensation, Ashley Brown.
Brown is known for originating the title role of Mary Poppins on Broadway.

Joining Ashley on stage will be Broadway performer, Geoff Packard.

Music from the Beauty and the Beast, the Little Mermaid, a medley from Wicked and of course music from Mary Poppins.

The evening will also highlight American classics like:
I've Got the World on a String
Smile
My Funny Valentine
Saturday Night is the Loneliest Night of the Week
If I were a Bell

This evening is the perfect not only for that special date night but it will be just as much fun for the entire family.
Come celebrate music from the American Song book, Broadway, and Disney classics

Geoff Packard was in the WHERE'S CHARLEY? I scored at Goodspeed in 2004, and he's really a good guy. I don't know if this is Matthew Inge's concert that I worked on since he's not advertising it on his site. If it's from Ingenuity Productions, i've got work in it.

Post by: Ginny on February 10, 2015, 04:47:59 PM: Tuesday evening greetings! This morning I went to the book sale site to deliver the 3 boxes I picked up yesterday, sorted books 'til noon, and went to lunch with 7 of the other workers. Then did some shopping for Mom and delivered that to her. She wanted to be pushed in her wheelchair to her mailbox and up and down several hallways. I was thrilled she wanted to be out and about. Stopped on the way home for a present for Mary Linda's birthday (tomorrow). And finally got home about 4. Must have been worn out, because I fell asleep in my chair for almost 2 hours.

I agree. I do wish the one side didn't keep saying there isn't any evidence. I believe if an alternative vaccination schedule, after the age autism shows up, had been proposed there would be more children protected today. A study from this group to compare the ratio of autistic children would have been interesting.

I thought the BBC series was better than the book, but Jane Austen got lost in both attempts to be a sequel to her brilliance. I didn't like the Lizzie Bennett, and P.D. James is very nasty to the charming Col. Brandon of P&P. I liked the actress playing Lydia and the screenplay adds Mr & Mrs Bennett, who do not appear in the novel.
