Back from a fun lunch - I think we're going to do an audio book on Thrill Ride.

Glad to hear that.

Well, in the completely unexpected department - I just got Cindy Williams to do the lead female character's voice in the audio book - there will be three actors total in this.

Has any DR worked on a production of CURTAINS. The program committee turned down MANY suggestions from me and settled on CURTAINS.....so I am sort of stuck directing it - and now some of those same people are saying it's not a good show, not funny, nobody knows it....etc.....so there you are.

Was it fun? Did the audience enjoy it?

Well, it ran longer than I thought it deserved. I thought there were several problems:
1. I thought the show within the show was too vague
2. I thought the denouement and the killer were not well thought out
3. I thought it never lived up to its potential
4. I thought the songs within the show being produced were not very good and I could never get a handle on what year we were in.

And I am home from City Center with several scores to proofread. Tomorrow I have therapy, then work at home. I may see Joshie over the weekend, but we finished the overture and I think we did a bang-up job with it.

I would concur that Curtains, which was resurrected solely because of Writer's Block (it was, that's the real fact of the matter), is not very good.

Today I got in the mail my referral to another spinal-joint specialist and more sessions of physical therapy. I hope this new specialist can help me out.

I'm wondering whatever happened to directors who were able to shape and develop a new show. Scott Ellis failed with Steel Pier and Curtains, but i don't think he's much of a director.

Well MR BK & DR ELMORE have said pretty much what I said when the show was suggested....but what can one do?

Surprisingly, I just got a first pass designed book interior for Grant. So I go over tomorrow at noon and we finesse then I'll print out for the final proofing - we should have this to the publisher as early as Tuesday. It looks great but the margins are a hair too wide, I think and he accidentally left the right side text ragged, which we've never done, it's always justified left and right, so that's very easy to fix. I also have an idea for the chapter headings that might be fun. But it's going to look great and I'm excited we're getting to it tomorrow rather than Saturday.

Wow how exciting. I have never listened to an audio book, but know a lot of people who love them. I think some have one narrator doing all the parts. And some have a male and a female.

A good number of my friends listened to audio books on long trips but I never could get Keith to do this. I missed my chance as I need subtitles to watch tv, listening to a book would be difficult. I would like to hear some of this though to get a feel for it, after I read the book.

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** February 16, 2017, 04:32:34 PM »

Speaking of reading Bruce. I have a decent kindle app on my newish tablet

Jane · « **Reply #112 on:** February 16, 2017, 04:34:39 PM »

In Ashland, very close to where we lived, my friends would stop into Blackstone Audio to purchase their books. Apparently a number of the voices were favorite actors at the Shakespeare Festival.

Susan Stroman can't shape other people's work the way her husband could. Hal Princes and Tommy Tunes are not made everyday.

As Jane mentioned, we're expecting a HUGE storm tomorrow. Weather Underground says it'll be the biggest storm of the last 10-20 years. Have my kitchen windows been repaired yet? No. The manager, however, brought home a brand new BMW. Coincidence?

Jeanne · « **Reply #119 on:** February 16, 2017, 05:29:20 PM »

I can't help but envision huge flooding. For all those who say that'll never happen, all I can say is, "Ever been through a hurricane?" I know many of you have been through one. I hope it's not bad here, but nevertheless I've moved some files and such away from the most vulnerable areas of my kitchen.
