Tonight we have a run through of The Play That Goes Wrong.

I am fairly certain that I will not be the only one who is still on book....but of course we not DIRECTED to be so....it was a suggestion.

Next Monday we will be ONSTAGE - although for two weeks we will share it with the Youth Theeder Workshop - a completely useless drain on our time and resources.

Of course the director of this mess thinks that it is the ONLY worthwhile project we do each season and is surprised that some of us are annoyed that her participants run all over the theeder and play with all of the props of the other shows and never do a good production.

The production however is praised and attended by the parents who never attend anything else at the theeder nor do they support it in any way.

Well, I got as far as the corner of Amsterdam before I became convinced I needed to get back to the bathroom. The humidity is around 80% or more, which made the situation even worse.

I couldn’t seem to log in here yesterday and missed the bulk of the fun.

And the fun of the bulk.

Monday morning greetings! Assuming he recovers from today's basement work, Richard and I are going shopping this afternoon for presents to take to Charlotte's and Hannah's dual birthday party this weekend. The "biggie" was already delivered, but we want them to have some things to open, too.

Despite being Facebook friends, I completely missed the fact that Susan Schulman had died. Thanks FB algorithms.

What I can say is that nobody was nicer, more down-to-earth. She was always helpful to me when I was scouring for interviews back in the day.

...the theater I came to NYC to work in is dead...

Along with the theater we used to travel to NYC to see...

TOD:

I guess I didn't have any highlights - although it was nice to see/hear about the current shows that I have only read about.

I didn't care for the speechifying - but that's okay - everybody gets a few minutes to say what they want.

I guess I sort of liked the song & dance from SHUCKED because they had some original lyrics that referenced where they were and what was happening.

Low lights - Sean Hayes' speech about a play written FOR ME so ME could say the words written FOR ME and ALL ABOUT ME.....oh and ME - did I mention ME?

Victoria Clark's seemingly misguided performance in Kimberly Akimbo. I think the idea of the show is interesting - but it needs a different leading lady.

And all of the commercials and ALL of the producers who made their way to the stage for EVERY winner.

I guess I feel the same way that MR BK does about audiences today...it is American Idol time....but times change, so I guess I am not the audience they are seeking nowadays.

Richard's basement project is to pull down all the ceiling tiles. Some had been removed at various times for plumbing and electrical work and some had just fallen down and he decided it would look better with them ALL gone. He can do about 10 a day and has found some treasures hidden in the rafters: a tennis ball, a 1937 Canadian quarter with the likeness of King George VI, and a jar of currency from the 1960s ($350 in 10s and 20s). That last item is quite a mystery: Who put it there? Why? Is there more?

Good morning, all.

LOL, DR ChasSmith - we're not that desperate!

A weird dream or two, mostly gone now, but at least one of them had something more or less to do with the Tonys. Nothing significant.

I was out later than I'd expected yesterday afternoon and didn't get the chance to figure out where PLUTO TV is, so I've seen nothing of that part as of yet.

Ginny · « **Reply #48 on:** June 12, 2023, 08:17:53 AM »

TOD - our enjoyment of the Tony broadcast was severely compromised by the constant weather emergency interruptions. We finally switched to the Dayton CBS affiliate, but by then I'd kind of lost interest.

DR Jrand, congrats on your weight loss.

Last night I wondered if Joaquina Kalukango, the singer for the In Memoriam (whose name I always have to look up to get right, so I accept no credit for typing it correctly) had ever performed the role of Christine in Phantom of the Opera. She has not, but I thought hers was a beautifully paced and sung performance of that song, which I like a lot, and which often seems to me to be an awkward one for singers.

I have been to the dentist and had my tooth patched.

My medication still has not been released from customs, however, there is a letter in the mail from them.

Unfortunately the mail will not have arrived before we leave for Bend.
