I'm up and have been up since eight for some unknown reason. I stayed in bed, gave some thought as to the note I'll be writing to the entire LACC Theatre Academy faculty, and shall now complete the commentary.

Sunday afternoon greetings! Home from Rob & Mary Linda's church and lunch with them at City Barbecue. We're all regrouping here at home before ML and I head to the Dayton 'burbs for a bridal shower for DN Lauren.

Working today. Hardly anybody has come into the store.

The laundry was put away an hour ago, and I am now working on my notes about the reconstruction of ROBERTA for the recording. When I get bored, I'll turn on the TV and watch a DVD.

Yes, to answer the question from last night, Gypsy was community theatre. Which is why I was so surprised that they had a full and very cracker-jack orchestra.

Oh, it was a cracker-jack orchestra! That explains it! I was wondering how a community theatre could afford a full orchestra--I'm used to a small band. Don't know how the theatre TCB mentioned does it. Thanks for clearing that up, Sing.

Good Sunday to all! Congrats on a great run of Li'l Abner hopefully some of us will be able to see that production some day. Presently, I'll eat some lunch, and head out for a walk. Yesterday, I did a 20 mile bike ride, which was glorious in many ways. Today will be a lovely walk, then it's back to church for the 6:00pm service.

Perhaps I can find a cracker-jack car. Or a drone. I'm quite fascinated with drones.

One must think outside the box. (Not to be confused with BK's web series.)

Goodness! It looks like everyone slept late. Or maye the East Coasters have gone to bed early. Still, only 40 posts?

DR TCB the rental company is sending your costume and it is paid for, so you can be in the show if you want to. Just come on opening night, you don't need to come to any more rehearsals.

Thank you, but it sounds like I would be one of the few to show up. Or is that just at rehearsals?

TCB · « **Reply #43 on:** May 25, 2014, 12:10:07 PM »

BK (I know it isn't Wednesday) do you think that most of your college students would follow the show to another venue? What about your pros?

Hmmm, here is a question! Of course, at the moment, I am the only person here who could answer it..........

What actor or actress was your first movie or TV crush? (The one that made you swoon. Maybe decorated your walls. The one that you dreamed about. The Leslie Parrish of your youth.)

bk · « **Reply #47 on:** May 25, 2014, 12:44:23 PM »

I would take a few of the LACC kids if we moved, and certainly the pros. In fact, Barry has some theater in Mt. Gretna, where he did Grease, interested in Abner, so I'll be talking to them this week. That would be for 2015.

A most amazing theatre score. And those orchestrations by Sid Ramin and Robert Ginzler!!!!

Indeed!

On castrecl, that "critic" initialed JC knows nothing; he's completely into whatever is the flavor of the month. He's the Baskin Robbins of morons. I am amazed that I let him irritate me so., but everything he writes is like a bull's red flag.

And here's my own thought for the day:

I know this is unusual in inventive 2014 casting, but I'd imagined TCB in one of the men's roles.

Exactly! I thought he was playing Arvide!

Well, Time Warner is screwed in my part of town, I have no television, and I just got into a fight with technician because I will have no idea if I screwed things up until service is resumed.

She kept telling me to unplug more things and I said I didn't want to until I knew service was back up and I would then know if i'd screwed things up. I hate this shit.
