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

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.

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



Drive safely and enjoy!

I'm wondering if I have anything DR Jrand65 could use in his display.  Maybe not, but I'm a proponent of displays and will keep that in mind.

I loved Bruce Willis in "Moonlighting," But I think I've only seen one of his movies-- "The Sixth Sense" (which I thought he was good in).

The original DIE HARD, PULP FICTION, and THE SIXTH SENSE.

I was never a MOONLIGHTING regular but would enjoy watching a few of those now.

I have an extra 1969 Playbill I can send you, DR JRand65.

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.

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...

The modern dress was why we stopped going to the Shakespeare plays in Ashland.

Good afternoon, all.

Vibes for Vixmom. My allergies have been acting up today, too.

I did make some mint julep jelly, which looks beautiful. Pale green with a touch of brown. Tastes good so far.

I enjoyed 16 Blocks, too. Then again, I usually enjoy Willis in most things.

Great news on the film series, DR Druxy. And a great first choice. Will the series have a theme?

Been listening to some CDs that I haven't played much. One deserves to be forgotten ("I Love You, Madam President"), a second was just not very good ("Cry for Us All") and one was just way too long (Ricky Ian Gordon's "Only Heaven"). I'm enjoying "Hands on a Hard Body" most.
