"Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of."

And some good news:

Quote

The British astrophysicist told a news conference in Hong Kong that humans could have a permanent base on the moon in 20 years and a colony on Mars in the next 40 years.

And a sad reminder:

"We won't find anywhere as nice as Earth unless we go to another star system,"

DR CILLA LIZ did you get my email?

DR PENNYO - lots of good choices....and there's always SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM....

Penny, have you ever heard of "The Spitfire Grill?" It's wonderful! Small cast, one set, very inspirational. Highly, highly recommended.

George · « **Reply #97 on:** June 13, 2006, 11:42:20 AM »

And there's also I Sent a Letter To My Love[/b], written by Melissa Manchester. Again, small cast and one set.

Hello to busy DR's GINNY & DANISE.

DR JRand - I especially enjoyed my drive around the Indianapolis ~~Motor Speedway~~ beltway, I-465! My mother kept her eyes (and mouth) shut during that part of the trip.

On last evening's "The Closer", Elmore's friend Kevin Kilner gave an Emmy worthy performance!

I-465 is a useless pot hole of a road that I hate to drive on.....drivers are crazy - half of the entrance ramps come ONTO the highway in the fast lane - and the other half give you about 50 feet to merge....

DR Elmore - a lovely package was waiting for me when I returned home from Illinois. Thank you so much for thinking of me

DR ELMORE - I am not sure...but sometimes special television episodes are shown again....it's rare....I think they call them reruns....but you MIGHT get another chance to see it!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #103 on:** June 13, 2006, 12:05:11 PM »

Off to rehearsal..........first time on the stage....with some furniture....should be interesting

TOD - The movie versions of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Night of the Iguana are some of the first "grown-up" things I remember seeing. As for Streetcar, I was director's assistant for a community theatre production many years ago. Our Stella was having marital problems (in real life) and the director (NOT DR Elmore, of course) asked me 3 days before opening to learn the part, just in case the actress he'd cast could not go on. Talk about cramming! Then, at the cast party, I overheard said director telling someone else that she'd been his strong second choice for Stella. I wanted to ask why he hadn't asked that person to learn the part in 48 hours.

Now which director could that be? The one who used to guarantee the humpy high school jocks good grades for "special favors" or another member of his family who was fired from the motel job for using empty rooms on special occasions? I forget.

Who said life in Ohio was dull?

What I mean to say is, I'm here, I'm well, and I sorely miss this site, but there have been so many woes here involving Joe's health, the NfH (Internet Lingo fro Neighbors from Hell), lawyers et cætera, that I have been egregiously E&T and also T&E, up to not even posting on our Broadway week in April, when, at DR Elmore's insistence we ran up to the TKTS booth and got tickets to The Drowsy Chaperone and joined him and Alex Rybeck for what was a marvelous theatrical evening.

Eight shows we saw, or was it nine? More later, I hope. I am reading the Tony posts from the other night at my Joe's insistence, because he feels I have neglected and also neglected haineshisway dot com for much too long, and this was the first time he watched the Tonys after having seen several of the nominated shows. More later, I hope.

love you all...

Over the years, I have been asked to learn a part and to take over a role on short notice on numerous occasions. However, the time I remember the most was the desperate plea I received late one night, to take over a role in Neil Simon's FOOLS. I stayed up half the night reading and re-reading the script; almost killed myself by trying to memorize dialogue in the middle of rush hour traffic; and put up with the rude behavior and cold shoulder from a cast who had not been told that I would be replacing thier castmate.

At the end of that first rehearsal, I was kept waiting while there was a top level secret meeting. At the end of the meeting, I was told that the errant actor had learned his lesson, and I was thanked for scaring him back on track by showing up as a replacement.

I was not amused.

I'm sure that TNT will replay it constantly. I can try to tape it if you would like- I agree that he was quite good.
