Page Six!!

I have been down in the dumps the last couple of days.  After all the hard work, the talented cast of young people, and the great review; we just didn't draw audiences.  It was a very discouraging last two weeks.

[TCB]

Who am I talking to?  I am the only one here.

[TCB]

I apologize!  There are, indeed, 2 Guests here with me.

I'm very sorry to read that. But it was good work. And that does count for something.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

that reminds me -  the Vixter and I went to a buffet the othe day  and one of the choices were crawfish -  I couldn't figure out how to  eat them so I left them at the buffet -  are they much different than lobster or shrimp?

You just eat the tails, unless the claws are really big.

I am so sorry to hear this Tom.  I hope the kids were not  discouraged.  Was there sufficient advertising?

They didn't say anything, but I know they were expecting a better response.  The posters were up everywhere.  The publicity was out there.  What bothers me is only three people I know came to see the show.  I am not talking about friends, just three people that I know.

Friends and relatives = Zip

Oh well......................






G'night!

Bruce, RED GOLD is my favorite of all your novels.  I actually put a review on Goodreads.  You know I don't write reviews so please don't expect me to ever do that again-lol.

Makes me happy to hear it!  Muse Margaret agrees with you!

Kritzerland rehearsal was way too rough for me and I'm afraid I was not very nice to the MD, who did not do his homework.  I worked with him for four hours on arrangements, not a one of which he played today, which means he did not do his homework.  I was not a happy camper and frankly neither were our singers.

[bk]

Abner rehearsal, which actually got to on time was also rough - we reviewed things, but despite my asking people for the last week to run their blocking when not working with me, not a one of them had and therefore no one kind of knew what they were doing.  We got up to speed and I ran a good chunk of act one, which we'll continue tomorrow.  My voice is completely trashed and I'm feeling congested, but hopefully after some rest I'll feel better.

Harper Lee has finally granted permission for "To Kill A Mockingbird" to be released on Kindle and other electronic books, beginning July 8.

T.O.D.

It was not one crime, but a long series of murders.  That would be the Ted Bundy case.

I know what you mean.  I've seen some incredible theater here in Olympia, but for some reason it's just so hard to get the butts in the seats.  A non-equity national tour of CATS can practically sell out two 1000-seat performances, but "Chamber Music" is lucky if we get a dozen people in our little theater.  Oh, well...we do it because we love it, not for the fame and/or glory.

This is wonderful!  But this has been on YouTube for two and a half years and you're just NOW posting it on HHW?? 

(Or did you post it before and I just don't remember...which is entirely possible? )

Tom, I really wish I could've gone.  One problem with theater people with theater friends is that they sometimes have shows at the same time.
