Six!

[TCB]

No cast party tonight, George?

[George]

Well, it's time for me to leave work and be tonight's house manager for TAO's production of "Tartuffe."  It's seems to be a success!  We've gotten one really good review, but probably won't get any more (no one else seems to be doing reviews in town anymore).  Anyway, the audiences are coming to see the show and they really seem to like it!  Hoo and Ray!

Be back later.

We had a FILLED house tonight!  We actually added three extra seats!  I had to sit on a stool up in the tech deck.  It wasn't horrible, though.  I've worked shows up there, so I'm used to it.  But the actors are still good, the costumes are still beautiful, and  the show is still funny.

Well, I'm not directly involved with the show, so I wouldn't know.  But I don't think anything was happening tonight.  People were milling about and chatting afterward, but it didn't seem like anyone was going anywhere special.

What time period does the show take place?

I don't know if there is a specified time.  The dress is modern...ish.  The language, while entirely rhymed, is otherwise quite modern.  It's within its own time vortex.

Aren't board members always welcome at a cast party?

Yes, we are, but I don't think that a party was happening tonight.  There might be one tomorrow or next weekend, but I haven't heard...yet.

I'm having a cast party right now.  I'm the cast.  I had some Saltines.  I HATE Saltines.  They're just left over from my stomach bug so I eat them even as I HATE them.

Thank goodness it's figs.

Anytime I hear or read the word "figs" anymore, I think of memes like this:

Finally getting around to watching "Into the Woods." I'm really enjoying it and can, at the same time, understand all of the criticism it received.

What kind of criticism did it receive?

My big criticism was why was The Baker's Father, in a flashback from 30 years before, played by an old man with gray hair??  Shouldn't The Baker's Father back then be about about the same age as The Baker in the movie's present?

I never understood that part.

[George]

it's figs.

Not even figs.  Raisins.

One of Sondheim's not entirely perfect rhymes. Unless you say "rai-zons."

Or rhyme it the other way...ray-zins/liay-zins...just that one time and laugh at it.

[George]

Well, I hate to do it...no, I really do...but I must go to bed now.  This weekend is Capitol City Pride weekend here in Olympia.  My sister and niece are on the board of Olympia's PFLAG and I was volunteered to help set up the tent for their booth tomorrow at eight in the freakin' morning.  I HATE having to get up that early on a Saturday. 

[George]

As soon as that's set up (and if I'm not too hot and sweaty), I'm going to work concessions for an event at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts (if I am too hot and sweaty, I'll go home and take another shower and then go back).  I will bring my Kindle to read during the show.  I'll also bring my tablet to see if there's wi-fi to glom onto.  If not, I'll be gone all day.

Have a good day, all!
