Anybody had a fool-proof way of getting a stain out of a mostly white fabric besides bleach?

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep overall.

I wonder if there are any hidden Easter eggs in the house?

I do have eggs in the house but I know where they are.

I'm also wondering if there are any bunnies in my house.

I still think I'll do hot dogs today - two for sure.

JRand, how about one of Alan Ayckbourn’s plays? Or Harvey?

I appreciate your thoughts on Once, Michael G. I wish I liked the movie a little more. But I kind of tired of the main characters. I liked them better in the stage version. I also liked the immersive nature of the staging. I saw it where I usher. It was there only for a night, and we had trouble getting people to use the onstage bar.

The onstage bar was a great touch - they didn't have any problem getting people to use it here, including me! There was an usher carefully positioned to keep people away from the stage turntable, which seemed like a really good idea.

I recommend The Man Who Came to Dinner. But it's a VERY large cast. Otherwise, for smaller stuff you can't go wrong with The Odd Couple. If looking at Ayckbourn - Bedroom Farce is great. Noises Off is a great farce.

elmore's Kritzer World review is lovely - I'll include it in the notes. And Freddie's Directed by review is also lovely. Both are much appreciated.

Hot dogs are in the oven being broiled.

Thanks DRs elmore and John G for sharing your Once thoughts. It's fun seeing different reactions. I hope George will chime in after his rehearsals.

What are other examples of film to stage adaptations, outside of Disney / animation / superhero genres?

I'll be seeing a controversial new example, Opening Night, in a few weeks. Reviews that polarized for a composer I like kind of draw me like a moth to a flame.

Are you taking a trip to London? If so, that sounds like a lot of fun.

"Nine" and Sweet Charity" are adaptations of Fellini films, for example.

"A Little Night Music" is an adaptation of an Ingmar Bergman film.

DR ELMORE hate is more than often generated by jealousy.

The Man Who Came to Dinner was most popular at my theeder.....I won an award a few seasons ago for my Banjo.
