Six!

[TCB]

G'night!

[George]

I've been gone all day!  I went to work to make up some time and while there, I got a text from Vanessa, who is the Manager of The Midnight Sun, the theater space that Theater Artists Olympia rents.  She wanted to know if I could open up The Sun for a renter (it was for a young child's birthday party).  She couldn't be there right at the time that the people were going to arrive.  I took my lunch time and was able to get there to open the space without any trouble.

After work, my parents took me to dinner.  My sister, niece and I helped our parents take some yard waste to the composting section of the local dump a few weeks ago, and the dinner was their thank you.  My sister, niece and my sister's boyfriend went over last night while I was at "Angels In America."  We went to Mayan (a Mexican chain) and it was all pretty good.  After dinner, we went back to my parents' house and played a couple of games of Phase 10.  I won the second game!  I am now home and ketchuping on all the posts.

Topic of the Day:  I don't remember the actual titles of their shows, but I've seen Hal Holbrook perform Mark Twain (I just realized that BK mentioned the actual title in his notes, "Mark Twain Tonight"), Frank Ferrante perform as Groucho Marx and Frank Gorshin perform as George Burns on tour at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.  I even got to meet Frank Ferrante and get his autograph on my DVD of his show!  All three actors and the shows were fantastic! 

[George]

The one time I went to New York, I got to see Avery Brooks in Paul Robeson.  I just happened to walk by the theater and a woman was selling a ticket for $40.  I bought it without realizing where the seat was...it was just about 4th row center on the orchestra level!  It was one of the absolute best theatrical experiences of my life!

Hey George, I found a OBC that even you probably don't have.

[George]

I also saw a locally produced one-man Hamlet that was actually pretty good.

Which one?

TOD - Regarding one-man shows where I could be objective because family and friends were not involved: 

Patrick Stewart's Christmas Carol, Madwoman of Central Park West, Shirley Valentine and I Am My own Wife.

I'm not sure if another favorite play, Souvenir, counts as a one-person show, although it's usually sold as one person playing Florence Foster Jenkins, and her pianist.  But the pianist is really quite a role.

"Paul Robeson" also had an accompanist, but I counted it.  A theater in Tacoma presented, "Glorious!" another Florence Foster Jenkins one-woman show.  My friend Josh Anderson (director/music director of TAO's "Brain From Planet X") played the pianist.

 I was in GLORIUS.  it wasn't a one-person show.

Not to brag or anything.

AARRGGHH!!  I'm a goon.  Sorry.

Are you serious?  I thought I had finally stumped you.

[George]

I guess I just remembered that it was another Florence Foster Jenkins show.

There are a lot of recent shows that I don't have, so I'm sure that you'll come across one.  I don't (yet) have Now. Here. This.  Have you heard of that?  It was written and performed by the same people who did [title of show].

You forgot that I collapsed and died on stage?

Umm...evidently.  Spoo.  I can usually remember that I saw something, but details are usually lost to the ether.

I think I have heard one or two songs from the show on Sirius Radio.

Yes!  I remember that now.  Chris Serface was working there at the time.

That is correct. My friend, Sharry played the lead.

I knew so many people that she knew, but I never met her.  That show was the only time that I had actually seen her perform.

Good night, George.

Good night to you, Tom.

Just lost a Kritzerland cast member - love when this happens a week before a show - trying to replace her now.  It's the flu - her kids have it and gave it to her.

~~~Quick Replacement Vibes for BK!!~~~

I am having a rare third cup of coffee.  I am waiting around to find out if my sister is going to be released from the hospital today, or whether she will be kept for another night.

~~~Vibes of All Kinds for TCB's Sister!!~~~
