I loved the Jack Benny video.....hilarious.....The Jack Benny Hour? When was his show an hour long? Did he move to CBS to get Danny Thomas on, or was it a cross promo? I know they all did each other's shows a lot.....

Nice video DR GEORGE.....but where is the intermission in RHS? We always did it straight through.....it's like a freight train - how do you stop it?

Bummer about your names being left out....that's really not fair....and yes an insert is really a better solution AND a poster in the lobby with your names and job description...and an APOLOGY.

The only time anyone speaks in an intermission around here is when there’s a lottery drawing as part of the proceedings.

One theater here, which is known for ridiculously long pre-curtain speeches, left mine and another musician’s name out of the orchestra listing for a PETER PAN production, and they included mention of that in the thank you portion of their speech. We didn’t much care about the omission, but that was nice of them. Anyway, on the night I had a bunch of friends coming to see the show, I told them, just for some down and dirty fun, to do some ridiculous cheering when my name was announced. This was in a 1500+ seat venue, and the orchestra loved it — as it livened up the interminable speech we’d suffered through several times already.

Continued from last night: Kyle, the managing director, gave a curtain speech at the end of intermission and among other announcements, announced that we did the props, so that was good.

Glad he did the right thing.

Favorite costume was as a geisha. of course, now I'd be accused of cultural appropriation but I won a contest with it so there!

Good for you. To me, that is why they are costumes as we would not normally wear them.

Well, if they left a cast member’s name out of the program, you can be damn sure that there would be an insert by tomorrow.

That's probably true.

This way your name will be heard every night. Not everyone reads the program.

Fabulous!

I actually call my cholesterol pills my "statin dolls" - not actually, but for a song...

Good morning/afternoon.

I slept in until 7:00 this morning. And I only woke up twice in the night.

If I was, say, the artistic director of a theater company and I came to see a show at another theater. If I was really impressed with the props, or the costumes, or the lighting design; and I wanted to see about using that person at my theater. I might be able to catch the name in the middle of a curtain speech, but it would certainly be a lot easier if I could just open the program after the show, and find the name of the person.

TCB · « **Reply #49 on:** November 01, 2018, 10:11:38 AM »

I am glad the show is a big success, George. Are you going to the midnight performance?

Today I am working on my narrations.

Nicky is mad at me this morning, because I gave him some pain medication.

TCB · « **Reply #55 on:** November 01, 2018, 10:19:15 AM »

The narrations wouldn't be so bad, except that I have two or three speeches that have a list in them.

TOD:
The one good thing about taking dance classes most of my life and doing a recital every year, is that I always had an automatic halloween costume. One year I was an octopus; another year I was a Can-can dancer. I think I liked the Can-can dancer costume the best. I wore it in college and one a costume contest and got a gift certificate to have dinner at a nice restaurant.
When I was very very young, before I started dance classes, my sister dressed me up as a tube of Crest toothpaste. I got a lot of attention while trick-or-treating. One sweet old lady who answered the door asked if she could squeeze me.

Not as bad as the list of all the books of the Old Testament (in order) that I had in INHERIT THE WIND, but they are still going to give me nightmares.

Back to my narrations!
