I have been promoted from Francis Nurse to Thomas Putnam in THE CRUCIBLE......I kind of like only having a dozen lines.....oh well.

I would have thought you would be wonderful as Judge Hawthorne.

Sorry to be reminded about the amplification at the Hollywood Bowl.  But of course it is EVERYWHERE, and it rarely sounds good.  

Saddest of all is its increased -- even expected -- use in regional/community theaters, in great old spaces where a whisper can be projected just fine, and its ubiquity in high school productions.  Even in plays.  And in the case of traditional musicals scored for unamplified performance, attempt at real live balance and nuance has for the most part been forgotten in many of these venues.

Unfortunately, most young actors are not trained to project.

When Richard was taking our trash down to the curb for tomorrow's pick up our neighbor Rosemary from across the street brought over 4 homegrown tomatoes from her yard.  Yum, BLTs for dinner tomorrow!

Question for the Foodies:

So, what's up with IKEA eggs? They are not the consistency of any eggs I have cooked.


You had to cook your own eggs?

Signing off to watch CASTLE and then, probably, go to bed.

I'm a bit of an emotional mess right now.  We took Sherlock up to Mt. Ashland to be with Echo today. When we returned home there was an email from a Facbook, Bernese Mt. Dog friend who is also a very talented artist. 



This picture came across my iPhone as I was waiting for a little. I happened to glance over to the car next to me and there was a dog that look exactly like Sherlock!

I am back from a wonderful day in Naples and as bonus went down the road to Marco Island which was the very first place I stayed in Florida before settling in Boca Raton. That was almost 20 years ago and nothing brought back memories. ???

Had a very long but very fun rehearsal, which was surprisingly smooth for a first rehearsal - only a few problems areas, which we addressed.

Good Evening!

Newsies was amazing. Yes, it's over-the-top and geared to get the crowd going at every possible chance, but... WOW! -And I could tell during the final scene that tonight was Jeremy Jordan's penultimate performance. I'm sure tomorrow night is going to be a cry-fest up on that stage.

And it was also great to catch up with Andrew Keenan-Bolger, John Dossett and Mark Aldrich after the show too. -Mark started off down in DC, and it's so funny how all the DC theatre folk who are now here in NYC only seem to run into each when they're back down in DC or in some other city. We made sure to catch up tonight. -And, best of all, he was on tonight as Teddy Roosevelt!

And in other news...

I received a text from my brother, Jay. Apparently, his wife, Kristy started having pre-term contractions again. She had a bout of them a few weeks ago, and had some more tonight, so they checked her into the hospital. The first incident happened at 28 weeks, and tonight she's at 35 weeks. Kristy has been at home on bedrest since the first incident. They just need Baby Grace to wait a few more weeks to make her official appearance in this world. Vibes would be much appreciated.

Otherwise...

It's been quite an amazing weekend filled with great food, theatre, and most importantly, good friends. And the past couple of hours have truly shown me just how Life can just surprise and challenge you. And tomorrow, I'm back in the audition room, so...

Goodnight.

Finished with my viewing.  Glad I at least have tomorrow pretty much free, before we begin the rehearsals that will then be every day.

I just finished watching "Cloverfield.". It was an interesting movie...well done, for the most part.  And on that note (C-natural)...
