Wow! Too much ME on this page.
I got my haircut this week.....that process probably takes longer for that to be done for you DR BEN.
Last night, I went to a local production of "How I Learned to Drive (http://www.prodigalsunproductions.org/)" by Paula Vogel. I'd only heard of the play but didn't know what it was about....now I do. :oThat's been sitting in my to-read stack for about a year now. I found a copy for a buck on a close-out rack and just haven't taken the time to read it. Maybe for Christmas, given your emoticon!
It was very well done...quite powerful. The lead woman was played by Heather, who played Joyce in TAO's The Brain From Planet X. I only knew one other person in the cast (of five), but I knew most everyone in the audience (of fifteen).
SB closing weekend vibes for DR MATTHEW.Ditto on the vibes.
Any photos online?

Is that Jack Benny (on the right), working as an extra in CASABLANCA?
Rumor says it is.

I tried blowing the picture up, but it was blurry. I'd heard the story, too, and find it a fun rumor. He was probably around the day they were filming and just drifted into the background as an extra.
And the word of the day is: AORISTIC!
DR JMK I was very confused about your Pamela Bellwood post last night.

Rumor says it is.
The LACCTAA website is being completely redone, just as we did with Kritzerland - it should be up in a few weeks.
Pamela Bellwood was there....but some words were left out of the post, or I can't read.
Not that it is important.

DEAD OF WINTER arrived yesterday.
Well, I found out why Spats hasn't been adopted. Just as I feared, he got sick. So I am going to bring him home to nurse him back to health.
I've had an action-packed three hours, from trips to pharmacy, Juilliard book store, hardware store and barber to NYPL and home.
I am craving eggs and sausage at the moment. The sliced apples and walnuts, almonds and cashews just haven't been satisfying today.

John G - not exactly a Christmas-y play, really.Exactly. There was one Christmas I remember when I got the flu and miserable and alone. The only video I had was Kurosawa's film version of "The Lower Depths." I can tell you that was a happy Christmas.
About to pull the trigger on a number of Amazon purchases--all Christmas CDs:Let me know how the Annie Lennox is. That one definitely interests me this year.

Manhanttan T's Christmas album is a perennial favorite. Will have to add that to the weekend's play list.DEAD OF WINTER arrived yesterday.
My copy arrived yesterday, also! That's what I'll be listening to today. :)
After that will be my CD-R made from The Manhattan Transfer's Christmas DVD (http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Transfer-Christmas/dp/B000GI3KIU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1290191624&sr=1-3). It has great sound and wonderful songs!

George, Tim Hoban played the uncle. I have known Tim for about 20 years and I have done several shows with him. He is a good friend and a fine actor.

Here are some pictures that I was just sent...and have never seen before.
The actor is Thom Koutsoukos (aka: Thom Keane). He starred in the first production of my 1-person play, JOLSON, which was done in Encino in the mid-1980s. Thom, who worked (standby) in the original production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (w/Zero Mostel) is currently living in Florida.
I wish I had these a year ago. I would have used one in my book.

Dr Druxy, have you managed to unpack your copies of the Spencer Tracy play?

I got my haircut this week.....that process probably takes longer for that to be done for you DR BEN.
Ha, ha. It's taking less and less time. It looks like I have a full head of hair but it's getting mighty thin up on top. It takes Yuri about 15 minutes to cut my hair. I'm thinking that in the spring I should just bite the bullet and get it cut very short. I don't want the shaved head look but I think shorter would be better.
Well, I found out why Spats hasn't been adopted. Just as I feared, he got sick. So I am going to bring him home to nurse him back to health.

Poor little Spats. He'll be feeling better soon. Funny thing -- he never purred for us before. Now he's purring up a storm.
I deleted a bunch of my facebook friends. I'm waiting to see if anyone notices.
The oaf is being particularly noisy tonight. I think he's got company in.

I like Patti. I saw "Anything Goes" on an Easter Sunday, and it was one of those rare performances where the audience stopped her time and and again at the end of numbers for encores. It was sheer, gossamer fun. That's sort of why I'm nervous about the upcoming revival.

I'm going to check my friends right now! ;)
Craig's cat hasn't pooped since Sunday. He is getting concerned.
He could use some good weather vibes to get past Shasta and over the pass from California & into Ashland tomorrow.

But that doesn't mean they won't play around with it. "Improve it."Jose - Haven't they announced they're using the Weidman - Crouse book?
I remember reading recently that they were using the book that was used for Patti's version.
