God, I hate learning lines!

TCB · « **Reply #34 on:** October 28, 2018, 02:11:09 PM »

Don’t get me wrong. I love saying the lines, but the learning part gets harder and harder to do.

Page 2? Really?

The Seahawks beat the Detroit Lions today, 28 to 14.

I want to take a break from learning my lines.

TCB · « **Reply #38 on:** October 28, 2018, 02:19:04 PM »

The only trouble is that I have taken more breaks than I have spent time learning my lines.

TCB · « **Reply #39 on:** October 28, 2018, 02:20:20 PM »

Well, not really.

Sunday afternoon greetings from Natchez, MS! We drove down through Louisiana so Richard could add it to his list of states visited. Had a nice lunch at Magnolia Grill and now we’re going to explore a bit.

I've been trying to understand modern anti-Semitism and synagogue safety and such, and I ran across this written by a Rabbi back in January, about the high percentage of Jewish men in the male-female cases. (and also Les Moonves, which was more recent)

And just because, here's a picture of the tickets that David got for On Your Feet:

How was the leg room at the Paramount, George?

We both were pretty comfortable. But then the tickets were in row F on the main floor, so I'm sure that that helped.

I have a copy of the Christmas Story script, and our first rehearsal isn't until November 5, but I haven't looked at it since the audition.

I'm now at my parents' for dinner...spaghetti.

Be back later.

Finished Making a Murderer - ultimately very annoying, which I'll talk about in the notes.

Now I must get ready for rehearsal.

Is the Magnolia Grill named after the heroine of Show Boat? Her wedding to Ravenal happens on the levee at Natchez.

I am back from Ordinary Days and I recommend it highly. The show's about four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect several years after 9/11 and performed by a wonderful cast of four, all good singers, and accompanied by a band of three, led by my friend John Bell. Joshie's brother Jeremy played flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet and alto sax beautifully.

Marc delaCruz was in the readings of "The Last Starfighter" that BK was one of the heads in, 2006.

I was posting my Times comment under the review while you were at the show. (I think?)

first part if my comment under here. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/26/theater/ordinary-days-review.html

I’m a huge fan of Adam Gwon and his work! But there was a period where Adam Gwon was winning literally every award known to non-name writers. (He was like a songwriter version of Adele, when she had a few years that it seemed a law had been passed that if there’s an award, she had to win something!) My spouse went to the O’Neill Center in Connecticut one summer and when he called home, he said “I met Adam Gwon just as we drove in” and I said ”Don’t tell me, he’s a really nice person, too?” “Yeah, he is.”

(etc)

I think I have the original cast recording. I'll dig it up.

Is his autobiography Gwon with the Wind?

I'm now watching a trifle called Boy on a Dolphin.

A very sexy Sophia Loren and lots of Greek scenery.

John G. · « **Reply #58 on:** October 28, 2018, 04:27:38 PM »

And very little else, despite the presence of Alan Ladd and Clifton Webb.

Let's move on.
