Hi, George.

We had only 7 seats left to sell to any walk-up!

Hi, John.

I did set off one light/sound cue early, but in this show, it works.

After tonight's show, we're having a cast party.

George · « **Reply #157 on:** August 19, 2022, 08:30:20 PM »

That'll be fun.

George · « **Reply #158 on:** August 19, 2022, 08:30:41 PM »

I'll be out late, so don't ask where I am!

George · « **Reply #159 on:** August 19, 2022, 08:30:54 PM »

...this time.

Cassis.....I haven't thought of that in a long time.

Confirm or Deny turned out to be a nifty escape. Roddy McDowall was wonderful as a child of the streets doing his part for the war effort. Eric Blore was his usual wonderful self and actually changed his character slightly so that he, too, ended up doing his part for the war effort.

Joan Bennett wasn't wearing Hedy Lamarr's old hair in this one. She was made up to look like Myrna Loy.

Well the sold out show was very good tonight - probably the best the cast has had.

The audience wasn't very laugh conscious, but the applauded and there was a full standing ovation from the beginning of the bows.

Starting to watch a documentary called Calendar Girl. It's about Ruth Finley, who ran New York Fashion Week's calendar until she was 95 years old. So many fashion designers, so many people in the industry sign the praises of this tiny woman. And she's a treasure on her own. So glad that she's getting the tribute she earned.

At the end of intermission - which ran over by 2 minutes because ladies were taking their time in the restroom.....I gave the standby to go.....and turned off the lobby lights....and a girl in her twenties came out of the theatre and headed for the restroom.

I held.....but after nearly two minutes there was no sign of her returning to her seat.....I was ready to give the go anyway when Granny came out with her cane and headed for the restroom....

I was afraid to let her try to find her seat in the dark.....going up the steps etc.....because the first scene in Act Two is in low light....

So I waited another almost TWO minutes and still no sign of either of them......so now we are almost 20 minutes into a 15 minute intermission.

I look in at the audience and of course they are restless and looking at their watches.....so I take the stage and say there is a small delay...does anyone have any questions.

I channeled my inner BK and kept them amused for another five minutes before both ladies finally returned to their seats.

It was NOT something I want to do again.

Oh the house lights had already been flashed twice as well.

And now I am going to have some vodka and cranberry juice and go to bed.

We went to the home of the stage manager and her partner, who is one of the actors (they're not married

) and we essentially had two groups: one in the kitchen around all the food, and the other was outside doing the doob.

Tonight's show went quite well, but one guy got up and left during the show not once, not twice, but count 'em, THREE times!

George · « **Reply #178 on:** August 20, 2022, 12:15:24 AM »

We didn't know if he REALLY had to pee, or if he was triggered by something in the show.

George · « **Reply #179 on:** August 20, 2022, 12:15:59 AM »

But even though he was not sitting on the aisle, he was close to it, and was fairly quiet coming in an out of the theater...so he didn't distract the actors or other audience members too much.
