Post by: George on June 10, 2017, 01:13:09 AM: This upcoming week is going to be a week! TAO (https://olytheater.com)'s next show, 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche (https://www.artful.ly/store/events/11935), opens on Friday! Today will be a long rehearsal for them before they start their final tech week on Monday. Today is also the day that the TAO board will bring food for the cast and crew, so I'll have to get and bring something at some point. The desired arrival time for the food hasn't been specified, though. ::)

Title: Re: THE INVITED FINAL DRESS REHEARSAL
Post by: Druxy on June 10, 2017, 04:36:20 AM: T.O.D.

The following is an excerpt from my 2nd memoir, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD:

Undoubtedly, the most outrageous stage flub I ever witnessed was in a performance of THE DESPERATE HOURS, presented at an Equity Waiver theater in West Hollywood. This was a play with which I was familiar. Not only had I seen the national company perform it when I was a kid in Seattle, but I am a fan of the 1955 movie that had starred Humphrey Bogart, Fredric March and Arthur Kennedy.

I was at this new production because one of my publicity clients, Larry Pennell, was playing the Arthur Kennedy role.

Based on a true story, THE DESPERATE HOURS by Joseph Hayes is about a trio of escaped convicts, led by Bogart in the movie, who take over a suburban household and hold the family hostage, as they plan their final getaway. In the William Wyler-directed film, March played the father and Kennedy was the chief cop trying to catch the criminals.

In the play’s climactic moments, one of the convicts has been killed, the police have surrounded the family’s home, the wife and grown daughter have been brought to safety, and the father (March) has just forced one of the remaining convicts, played in the movie by Robert Middleton, out of the house into a hail of police bullets.

As the Middleton character is ejected from the house, he drops his gun inside. The father retrieves the weapon, and then goes upstairs to
confront the Bogart character, who is still holding March’s young son with a gun that he doesn’t know is not loaded.

I don’t recall the names of the actors who played the convicts in the Equity Waiver production I saw, but the father was Don Dubbins, a skilled
performer and a familiar face on episodic television, but perhaps best remembered for a couple of films he made back in the 1950s, TRIBUTE TO A BAD MAN starring Jimmy Cagney and THE D.I. with Jack Webb.

Now, picture this:

In the performance of the play that I attended, Dubbins forces the convict (the Middleton character) out of the house, but the actor playing
that role neglected to drop his gun. Dubbins, after desperately looking about the stage for the absent prop, now must mount the stairs and confront the Bogart character without a weapon.

Knowing the play as well as I did and realizing what had happened, I cannot express how badly I felt for Dubbins at that moment. In what
should have been the play’s most intense scene, he was now forced to ask the Bogart character “nicely” to release his son and get out of his
house.

I encountered Dubbins at a party a year or two later, and reminded him of that incident, which he said was the “most painful” moment he’d
ever spent on stage.

Post by: Jane on June 10, 2017, 10:36:29 AM: I recall stopping with friends at Rancho Park (just around the corner from me) to watch them film Batman. Burt Ward was a bit full of himself, or simply tired of teenage girls following him around, and was a bit aloof. Funny though, we were there out of curiosity and to see the Batmobile. The Batmobile sounded like it was falling apart, very entertaining. I know Adam West was there but he must have been busy working.

End of story as we left for my house.

that happened here the other night. It was 4:30 am. When I got up and looked outside I saw what appeared to be badges on both the men. Oh. I think there's a disoriented homeless man who, for some reason, thinks he belongs here and tries to bunk down near our carport.

DR TCB - I don't think there is anyway to prepare for what you and your family went through yesterday.

My thoughts and prayers are with both families....

I am so sorry. This is horrible. How can a judge double the sentence that both lawyers agreed upon? That makes no sense. :(

Post by: John G. on June 10, 2017, 03:22:59 PM: It was a nice visit. Jan had had quadruple bypass that was long overdue. Her husband was really shaken by the whole thing and has been by her side ever since. He said Joy and I were the first non medical personnel to go through their door in two weeks.

Fannie Flagg's All Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion. Her husband was an Air Force officer. I thought she'd like a story about the first women pilots.

Title: Re: THE INVITED FINAL DRESS REHEARSAL
Post by: John G. on June 10, 2017, 08:22:19 PM: The show tonight was called On the Porch with the Levans. It was like a musical autobiography of a San Antonio family. I didn't know them, but I enjoyed the way they told stories, in song and in speaking. They did a few old pieces, but most were works they had written. The son and daughter have both started solo careers, and the best song was from the daughter about her grandmother passing along a pair of prize Lucchese boots.

Post by: John G. on June 10, 2017, 08:24:11 PM: At the end, half of the audience seemed to join them on stage with squeezebox, violin/fiddle, you name it, for a raucous version of Folsom Prison Blues.
