Well, we have a write-up for The Credeaux Canvas! Tonight is our $5 preview, and we open tomorrow!

The nudity isn't meant to titillate. But it's supposed to plant butts in seats. So, which is it?

The author of the article has not seen the show. The nudity within the show is not titillating, but people are curious and will (hopefully) want to see attractive people naked for 22 minutes...we could really use the money.

Actually, the actress drops her robe and then sits down in a chair and is hidden for 21 and a half of those minutes. The actor, on the other hand, disrobes and pretty much faces the audience for most of that scene. He's the one who's really exposed, literally and metaphorically.

The chair that she sits in is kind of like this, but not leather:

The chair is place sideways facing off left, so she is completely hidden.

Now, I don't mean to minimize her apprehension in any way, nor to imply that he shares her discomfort with playing the nude scene (which he actually doesn't), but it seems that people are much more concerned about the woman being nude than the man, when there are two people who are nude on stage, not one.

Tomorrow for lunch on Good Friday, we're going to the Jerusalem Grill. Couldn't think of any place more appropriate.

This could be a sign of a Freudian slip or, far more likely, a middling education.

Back from a walk-through for the sound person - a young fellow but seems very on top of his game. Then I had a cup of soup and a sandwich, picked up a package and am now home. Heard the latest two Lanny orchestrations, which are fab. Waiting for him to call to chat about a couple of things. I had an idea last night - the song I wrote for What If and put in during the third week of its run - Born Too Late (the disco song that's on the second Guy Haines CD) - I was not feeling strong about opening act two with a "soft" reprise of an act one number - it would be cute but it's really not a way to start an act - although some shows do like to gentle in with the opening of act two. But Born Too Late we've done twice at Kritzerland and it always stops the show because it has the dance section in the middle and people just look back on the era with such fondness. And I can open it up in the middle just before the dance, and talk about LA's great discos, like Osko's and others. What do you think? Kind of a neat way to start act two - but I also have the option of starting act two with the melting pot number Grant is supposed to do music for and then I'd put the disco number in act one where the melting pot number is - those are easy flips.

Good evening!

It's a beautiful day in the DC area. A little windy, but sunny and in the 70's.

Apparently the cherry blossoms have not quite hit their peak. They should do so in a couple of days.

Sorry to hear about Garry Shandling.

OMG what horrible weather! My key won't fit in my car side door (frozen). But at least i was able to get in by the passenger side. And the driver's side door will unlock and open. I just can't unlock it with my key!

There is snow. And now it is freezing rain. They didn't plow the roads at all.

As to Roman Holiday - it's been kicking around for fifteen YEARS - they did it at the Muni - same guy who did the book for White Christmas. He's not a writer - in fact, he's terrible.

I have a friend there visiting her family in DC. She has been putting up lovely photos of her day with her granddaughter.

Hmmm, DR Cilla it sounds worse than your weather.
