Yesterday, cleaning the litter became a major ordeal.  After two years, you'd think I'd have it organized to go smoothly to the last second.  It was a total disaster, yet this morning, it was smoothly accomplished in less than five minutes.  Go figure.

DR ChasSmith, how did last night's performance go?

Very well, thank you. It was one of those times I felt “off”, myself, and it was an effort just to get through the evening. Then afterwards, everyone was gushing over how great the music is sounding. So go figure. I’m very happy they thought so.

Except for the obvious good things, BK’s last night sounds like torture.

Too bad about the theater. It’s always so demoralizing to hear of such horrible changes made to any venue.

I have to start getting ready soon for our matinee.

After today, only two more shows. Which seems utterly impossible. Where did the last few weeks go?

Just reading about 4 1/2 hours of the show in the notes made me tired.....

These past months in NYC theater, there have been so many shows opening that are under 70 minutes.  (Of course, cabaret shows were always an hour or less, and no one felt it wasn't a full evening out.)

When Pinter's "Ashes to Ashes" was about 40 minutes, there were headlines like "New Pinter Play more than a dollar a minute" - these days, with $400 at least for OK seats to any hit show, $1 a minute seems like a bargain.  But it does seem possibly that audiences want an evening of live theater, but really want to get home or to dinner or back to their screens having had an experience.

 The Pinter play added a discussion to every performance to extend when people got out in the street after the show.

What I can't tell is if millennial or other writers are learning to writing this way, economically yet a full story that feels like a satisfying evening for the ticket buyers, or if theaters are suddenly choosing the very short plays recently for various reasons.     I guess they don't worry about the lost concession sales.   

It's got to be cheaper in some ways to put on a 70-minute play than a 3-hour play. (as long as sales dollars don't decrease as a result)

I am glad they thought so.  May you feel better about the last two shows.

Thanks to those of you who sent vibes yesterday.  Please keep them coming.  I am heading into a very bad situation unless something wonderful occurs in the not-too-distant future.

I'm up, I'm up - again.  Was up at ten due to a confluence of irritants, stayed in bed until ten-thirty, got up, went back to bed at noon, fell asleep soon thereafter, so I suppose I got eight hours of sleep, maybe a bit more.

My nephew and his adorable 2-year daughter came over to former DR Kate’s house this morning.  She had a good time coloring and playing with the dogs.
