I would borrow Tangled from my niece. But she doesn't understand the concept of borrowing/lending. :)

And the reasons I would want to see Tangled are for Donna Murphy and the lead guy (Chuck on NBC's Chuck).

Good morning, all! I wanted to get back to my old sleeping schedule and I guess getting out of bed at 6:45 fulfilled my wishes.  My last dream was truly bizarre: something about seeing a play at Town Hall, staying for a talkback after and losing my jacket, wishing an actor and actress who were in it best of luck with auditions they were going to, and getting on a train to go to Oxford, OH. The train almost hit a bicyclist walking his bike on the tracks, my father was riding on the train with me, ignoring me and washing his hands over and over again at a sink that he was filling up with paper towels, and I was discussing the situation with my brother Randy, presumably after the tran reached Oxford.

I have a bit of work on the EILEEN scores before I deliver Act One to my colleague Curtis.

DR John G, the New York State Theatre Institute is now dead; if you Google Patricia and the Institute, you will read a lot of ugly press from the General Inspector's charges via the NY State Governor's office. The witch hunt began around 2006, following an anonymous letter to the governor's offices. None of the charges are true and the actual documentation, which the Inspector General ignored in its leak to the press, refutes the charges, but this information never was given to the press. A lot of damage has been done. While I would be rash and misinformed to say it's part of a poverty-stricken state government shutting down what it feels are unwanted and unnecessary arts programs, I believe the overall plan was to oust Patricia as director, disgrace the Institute, and fold it up with no leader to fight for its support.

The saddest part is that for nearly 30 years that Institute provided professional theatre productions four days a week for school children in the Albany-Troy-Schenectady area from grades 1 through high school, ran internships and theatre programs, and introduced a lot of children to live theatre. That's an audience of children, children of children, and no one stopped this inquisition or [protected the organization..

Patricia looks great, and she will do good theatre work in other spaces now. She's very unhappy over all the charges and lies, the ugliness, back stabbing and treachery  from long-term associates in the company when heads started rolling, and seeing something you created crushed. I loved working for her and NYSTI, and I'm sorry that all of this has occurred.

And so, to work.

It sounds like a powerful book itself.

Speaking of books:

I'm in the process of publishing some of the 1-person plays that I wrote (and were staged) back in the 1980s-early 1990s.

Assuming that everything goes as planned, these will be inexpensive "acting editions," published via CreateSpace and available on Amazon and also in book stores through wholesalers.

Hopefully, the wider availability of the scripts will induce some theaters around the country to mount a production.

I'm still formatting it, but the first play will be my one-woman show about Carole Lombard.

More later....

I still want very much to get a copy of the one man show about Spencer Tracy.  I have friend currently living in Cape Cod who is not only a stunning actor, but also reminds me of Tracy.

Elmore, sorry to read about all that happened to Patricia Snyder. I know I covered some of the first waves of ugliness back in the late 1980s when I was up there. But I will never forget some of the school work that she did and her own part in tearing down the Iron Curtain. She worked with the Moscow Children's Theater back when that was a no-no and brought them to Albany. Their production of "Madame Butterfly" was spectacular.

It all began with an anonymous letter to the board and the state from someone - she believes she knows who it was - who was too cowardly to sign his/her name but the accusations, which the NYSTI board refused to believe given that the charges were unfounded, sure got the General Inspector of the governor's office into a four-year witch hunt. She suspects the writer was a troublemaking performer from Albany who acted occasionally in their productions. There's always one - sometimes it's a musician - on every production I've ever worked on.



Exactly!  Blame Jose.

I am not a writer.  I have never been one and I am quite sure at my age that I will never become one.  The exception would be possibly another play, but neither of these ideas would  be the subject for a play.

1.)  The first idea would be yet another book regarding the sinking of the Titanic.  My  book would focus on the other ship on that night in 1912 - The Californian  No part of the Titanic story is more hotly debated than the truth(?) regarding the Californian.

The seocnd idea would be a novelized version of the last voyage of the Andrea Doria.  Hmmm, I wonder who I could get for the movie version to play Ruth Roman!

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home...................All by myself

I was so tired today at work.   I don't really know why.  I don't think I stayed up too late reading.
