Bruce, good news on PURE IMAGINATION possibly going to NY. Who owns the show? IIRC, the theatre hired you to direct it. But most of the staging and arrangements are yours, yes? Is it yours to take wherever?

California is one of the few areas of the country not hit by severe weather. We, on the other hand, are in a severe drought. The weather gods are making mischief.

HOWEVER... there was a silver lining in the evening's performance. By some miracle, Ira Gershwin's nephew Mike, at a very spry 80 years young, made it up to see the show with Arnold Mittleman (sp?), one of the show's promoters. They had met up in NYC, as Mike is in San Fran and Arnold in Miami, and took a bus and a train through the crazy storm. They loved the show and stayed to meet us after. The Gershwin estate, of which Mike is a big part, has adopted this show as one of their own. It will be interesting to see how this pans out, but there are future productions being planned, one perhaps in L.A.

What a lovely story.

I don't know from glazed nuts, but I've met a few DAZED nuts over the years.

What a lovely story.

I agree, a lovely story.  Isn't it great that there still is a living link back to the great Gershwins!  For me, these kinds of stories serve as a reminder that even though icons of the storied past (and prsent) are often-times larger than life, they were (and are) real people, etc.  F'rinstance, a very good friend of mine now approaching her 80s once dated Richard Rodgers.

Happy Valentine's Day, All!!

Lemme tell you, I feel like a glazed nut after the snow and rain dump we got yesterday. A foot of snow followed by rain. Dear Diary... oy!

AND, it was on a  two show day. I walked home after the matinee in a whiteout and needed a dogsled to get back. We had maybe 25 people show out of the sold out show, and the evening only 18 plus two staffers.

HOWEVER... there was a silver lining in the evening's performance. By some miracle, Ira Gershwin's nephew Mike, at a very spry 80 years young, made it up to see the show with Arnold Mittleman (sp?), one of the show's promoters. They had met up in NYC, as Mike is in San Fran and Arnold in Miami, and took a bus and a train through the crazy storm. They loved the show and stayed to meet us after. The Gershwin estate, of which Mike is a big part, has adopted this show as one of their own. It will be interesting to see how this pans out, but there are future productions being planned, one perhaps in L.A.

With more snow due tomorrow, I can't wait to get home on Monday! Enough of this wintering:

And, I can't wait to hear about my songs for the upcoming Kritzerland show. (I keep praying for some Sweeney)   :D

Okay, off to frozen errands and another show. Happy Heart Day to all!!

Interesting, the wolf in your graphic reminds of the wolf in this video clip sans the snow. They look almost alike.

Stay safe and all the best with your show!

Increasingly, I am encountering the word "cosplay" on the Interwebs. I really hadn't a clue, so I just looked it up.


It is short for costume play, apparently; essentially dressing up and pretending to be a fictional character. Who knew?       :P

Costumed role playing...

I just learned the term "prog metal" and apparently it's happening to Sweeney Todd:

Might be fun.

Interesting...that's only two and a half hours north of me.  Maybe I should take a road trip in the fall. :)

George, what are you talking about?  It is on the other side of the country.

The theater asked me (not hired me) to create and direct a musical revue.  I did and I own it all.  If any major productions occur, they will receive a very small percent.

Had a call from Brennley Brown's folks - they were in the nabe and asked me to come join them for a meal, which I did.  I hadn't intended to really eat again, but I had a meatless cobb salad and some chili and that was that.  I'm jogging tomorrow, believe me.

Your last show seemed like a perfect one to end your career, if that is what you decide to do. 

It was, but I hope he doesn't. :-\


Thank you, George, that is a very nice thing to say.

Since my Valentine was a no-show and I'm feeling down about it, I'm watching "Love, American Style" on MeTV with Karen VALENTINE!
(Reading this back to myself, I sound like a sad case, oh well).


I am sorry your date was a no-show.
