And now here is a photo of our display case.....down on the bottom shelf on the right is a sign that says:

Thanks to VIXMOM and CHAS SMITH from
Haineshisway for some of the items on display.

What is sad is that the volunteer ushers from the Senior Center will come and put their HUGE handbags, programs, scarves, water bottles, and sweaters on the top of the case, so many things can't be seen.

DR Jrand65, how long are Putnam's rehearsal periods, in average number of days/weeks? And for plays vs. musicals?

I ask because in following along casually as we do here, it seems like they're shorter than what I'm used to in this here community theater.....community.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #36 on:** August 09, 2016, 07:51:52 AM »

Very nice display case, DR Jrand65!

I wish more theaters would take the trouble to do that kind of thing.

The murder of six-year-old Lisa Steinberg in the late '80s was brilliantly written about in both a non-fiction and a fictionalized version:

WHAT LISA KNEW - by Joyce Johnson, normally a fiction writer, and
WAVERLY PLACE - by Susan Brownmiller, normally a non-fiction writer.

The handbags would come in very handy when you do THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, I guess.

Indeed, a very nice display case!!!

I'm a proponent of both displays and extensive program notes. For my taste we see all too little of either.

TOD Part the Third:

IN COLD BLOOD - which is what started all of this. I've wanted to reread it for years and haven't done it yet.

Also, special mention for ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN (and its follow-up THE FINAL DAYS). Those newspaper guys knew a thing or two about writing a good true crime story.

Our new super is named Val. He's a young newly-married gentleman. As I returned from the market, I saw him washing down the sidewalk. I hope he works out.

I'm alive.

I'm breathing (shallowly).

I feel better (marginally).

I am "at" work (rather than "working").

But, hey! I'm still here!

That's a really nice display, Jrand. However, did you notice that the OBC CD is upside down? Otherwise, it looks like the only other thing you would need is a picture of the London cast recording of the show. Maybe you could print out the picture from the link and put it in a CD case, even though it's never been released on CD.

HA! Thanks DR GEORGE, I will fix it when I go in tonight.....I hadn't noticed.

DR CHAS SMITH we usually have five weeks for a rehearsal period....and usually four nights per week. We have a stage and a rehearsal space....the next show can't use the rehearsal space when the current show is in production because the space is our green room....so that's a couple of weeks with only two or three days in addition to the five weeks.

So it's five weeks of four days, two weeks with only five days total, and then eight rehearsals on the stage/set. Sometimes we can get an extra week onstage for a complicated show....but we try to start as early as we can in June and try to end before mid-September.....then we have FOUR mainstage productions of 7 performances, 2 weeks of a Youth Theatre Shakespeare Workshop, and one week of a Children's Workshop (both of which work onstage during the day and create havoc for the production trying to get up and going).

I am in charge of the display case, so I try to get lots of interesting things......

Yes DR FJL....handbags can be invaluable....especially at Victoria Station on the Brighton Line.

The line is immaterial, I've heard.

I coulda sworn I said it first thing this morning, but obviously I didn't -- thanks for the video, BK. Will be looking forward to others.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #59 on:** August 09, 2016, 11:25:33 AM »

Oy! I could easily have scrounged up a display copy of the OBC LP jacket and included it in the package. Sorry I didn't think of it, because it would have been easier to place in there right side up than that tiny little CD jewel case.
