Well, you've read the notes, the notes suffered no fools, and now it is time for you to post until the foolish cows come home.

And the word of the day is: NINNYHAMMER!

An hour early??

TCB · « **Reply #3 on:** April 01, 2016, 11:06:58 PM »

I lost a long post I had written!

TCB · « **Reply #4 on:** April 01, 2016, 11:07:58 PM »

And there are no new notes!!

TCB · « **Reply #5 on:** April 01, 2016, 11:11:34 PM »

What is going on here?

TCB · « **Reply #6 on:** April 01, 2016, 11:13:44 PM »

Well, good night

BK must've set yesterday's posts to automatically close...or not. It's only an hour.

And now, to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Luckily, very very few tax-office April Fool jokes yesterday! And the ones that were indeed convincing were quite graciously followed with a prompt "April Fool" declaration within seconds after it looked like that prank was about to be believed by somebody.

Good morning, all! I feel very dull today.

I was suddenly hit with an allergy attack last night non stop sneezing itchy watery eyes....Vixda gave me an allergy pill and within minutes I was dead asleep on the recliner but I woke at 8 and so far the eyes and the nose are under control so I guess whatever he gave me worked

I hope you perk right up to see the show today, Elmore! Are you going to the matinee or the evening performance?

vixmom · « **Reply #13 on:** April 02, 2016, 05:42:45 AM »

and where is Chas? I wanted to hear what he thought of the show.... I must admit I was a bit disappointed to hear that it was modern dress - I like period pieces to be done in period dress...

vixmom · « **Reply #14 on:** April 02, 2016, 05:44:05 AM »

I guess I am a traditionalist.... I don't really enjoy modern art either ,

Matinee. I'll sit backstage, watch the show on the monitor and stay for the talkback. I hope my leg lasts the whole shebang.

Technically, Encores! productions were meant to be concerts, and all of the early productions were done in evening wear with the actors holding scripts. Gradually, more and more costumes slipped in and there was less reliance on the script in hand. I think the whole point of avoiding period clothing in this is to point up how many issues from the situations in 1776 remain relevant to today.

DR VIXMOM pick me up a program from the floor for my August display case!

There are many times in my life when I could have used a ninnyhammer.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 02, 2016, 06:17:34 AM »

Getting ready for auditions tomorrow. Not sure how many people we will have....or how many of those who show up we can actually use.

One more session on Monday night. So here we go onto the 2016 season.

I've been asked to host a monthly afternoon screening of a classic film at a branch of the Austin Public Library, beginning in late May.

We're going to start with THE MALTESE FALCON.

Good Morning All:

THE SIXTH SENSE

I also liked MOONLIGHTING (THE TV SHOW)

Good morning, all.

Got to sleep in some this morning. Didn't even know I was doing it, so I must have needed it.

Very happy today is free. Tomorrow, one last set of auditions to play, then I think that's it for a few months.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #24 on:** April 02, 2016, 07:34:05 AM »

Vixmom, I made a few comments on it very late Wednesday night, or maybe Thursday. It's a wonderful performance, and after you and DR Elmore have seen it we can have a fine old time going over it in detail.

The past couple of seasons have been relatively sumptuous in sets and costumes, but I think going for that in 1776 just might have seemed like overkill. Plus, what DR Elmore said. I like what they decided on.

Enjoy!!

Reminder: "Opera" glasses, if you got 'em!

LEG VIBES for DR Elmore.

I did not realize that they were not meant to be full productions though thinking about it now it makes sense considering the very short runs - I am sorry to be missing the talk back I would have liked to have been there for that
