FOLLIES, Boris Aronson's original set, is one of the greatest ever, if not the greatest.

DR JEANNE Acorn TV has a series titled A Place to Call Home about Australia in the 50's.....it has David Berry from OUTLANDER in it.  Of course I can't see it, but if you have the service you might give it a look.

She has been watching it.

Never have seen a live production of that. I imagine it was from the photos and videos

The secret of designing FOLLIES is getting from the ruined theatre to Loveland and then back as magically and quickly as possible.  The designer of the last turkey revival hadn't a clue for either the ruined theatre or Loveland.

Topic of the Day:

The Secret Garden in Seattle at the 5th Avenue Theatre a couple of years ago.  It was beautiful!

Locally, Theater Artists Olympia did a play called On the Verge; or, The Geography of Yearning.  It was a very simple, beige set, but there were projections.  Here you can see the actual set color with a little bit of an image:

One of my favorite plays!  I saw it Off-off-Broadway on Theatre Row around 1985.  It was really wonderful.

I'd never heard of it, but it was one of the best things that TAO did.  It was very well attended and got some great reviews.

Thanks for the wrlcome home TCB.  I am glad you have a new battery for your upcoming trip.  Will you take the old one as a spare?

No, they don't let you keep the old batteries, because they have to be properly disposed of.  Besides. they are too heavy for me to put in my luggage.

I hiked my mountain again today. Then I stopped at my son and DIL's home to pick up something. I got to see the baby. He gave me a big smile.

My DH is putting up the third camera on our house -- this one points to the patio door in the backyard.

Thanks DR JANE I just became aware of the show and I guess I don't remember DR JEANNE mentioning it.

I wonder if MR BK is getting his pulled pork?   ....so to speak.....

I liked ON THE VERGE when I saw it at the Phoenix Theatre in Indy many years ago.....but one of the three main actresses was not up to the task.
