I would like to announce that I went to work today at 8:30 and left at 5:30 ... and I took a 1/2 hour for lunch

Did you join a union?

I joined a fellowship

A Fellowship of the Ring??

I was thinking the same thing. Gone with the Wind. Where Scarlett returns to Tara at the end of the movie.

Hello!

Thanks, DR vixmom! I guess I'll see the Book of Mormon at some point! It's sure to be around for years to come!

I have not seen it , however the two songs I have seen on YouTube I have enjoyed... but until I find a way of getting a cheap ticket I won't be seeing it

In other very preliminary news, I've been asked to direct (and write patter) for a big all-star benefit in January that Juliana Hansen in involved with - I've said yes.

Very Nice!!!

Greetings, all!

For a day off from the show, it was rather busy for me, hence my late entrance here.

I had a noon recording session to add some new material to the demo for a developing B'way show called Mr. Confidential, based on the real life goings-on of the man who start the Confidential Magazine back in the 50's. The music has a bit of a City of Angels feel to it, and the writers have already had one staged reading of the show in NYC a few months back.

The nice thing about the demo is that two of the other main singers are Howard McGillin and the amazing Christine Ebersole, and I am singing the role of the charming yet alcoholic villain (my new specialty?). if you want to hear any of the show's demo, you'll find their site here: http://www.mrconfidentialmusical.com/.

Back to my other show tomorrow, but thankfully without the person who was making it worse. Maybe we'll salvage it by closing.

I hope everyone is having a great early week.

I am listening to this while perusing the board -- I look forward to seeing you on Broadway!

I miss my Kritzerland email blasts, they reminded me to order. Seems I must have more than 150 cd's by now. And I listen to them all.

Think I'll go and check the site.

Night.

In the mail today was a solar powered plastic owl to keep the ducks & geese, if it works, from feasting on the fish. Keith named it Ollie but I am going to call it Blair as the head spins in a full circle.

Vixdad's parents bought a fake owl to scare away the woodpeckers that kept drilling holes in the siding...it worked to some extent... the woodpeckers drilled holes in the fake owl instead

In other very preliminary news, I was contacted by the artistic director of some theater in LA who wants me to come direct a revue based on the songs of Newley and Bricusse - she'd heard about the Kritzerland show, loves my work, and so we'll be meeting on Monday to discuss the particulars. The daunting part is that she wants to open the show in early November - which means if it works out I have to actually create the show in the next three weeks - certainly I've done it before with What If and I do have the Kritzerland show as a basis, but would have to expand that, figure out a structure and what the patter would be and how it would work. I think we'd keep the cast small and do it very simply with either a trio or maybe even just a piano. I told her that if we can work out all the details, that I'll do it. She knows I'd have to be gone for three days in mid-October, and that our Kritzerland rehearsal days would have to be worked around, but that shouldn't really be a problem. It would be an eight to twelve week run and while they have a group of actors, I would not be forced to completely cast the show from within their company and could therefore bring in a few people, which would be great.

Wow! It looks like you were right to turn down that the offer to work on the pilot

Good morning!

Well, it still feels like morning, especially one after little sleep. Yes, I did drive to Cincinnati, all twelve hours of it, and I did indeed TAKE MY HAND OFF THE WHEEL to wave in DR Ginny's general direction. It was quite the dramatic moment, lemme tell you. The drivers around me on I-71 would tell you, too!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #134 on:** September 10, 2013, 06:54:52 PM »

Two days here, then driving back on Friday.

Well, it's time for the monthly Theater Artists Olympia board meeting. I'm a bit tired so I hope I don't get bored with the board.

Until later!

Did a three-mile jog - I think from here on in the jog has to be done before noon - it's now a little nippy in the evening.
