I see my friend Merwin Foard has died. I have no idea what happened, but he was one of the funniest men I've known.
https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Broadway-Veteran-Merwin-Foard-Passes-Away-at-59-20200310

He was in the early-1980s Houston Grand Opera revival of Show Boat, and I met him when he sang backup to Kiri Te Kanawa's "I Got Rhythm" on her "Kiri Sings Gershwin" recording. In the mid-1990s, playwright Douglas Beane had written a National Enquirer parody, "Jackie O's UFO Cancer Cure," and Merwin was a total hoot the captain of an alien spaceship returning from Disneyland and the ghost of Elvis haunting a mall in Nashville.

I read that, too.

He was also in a documentary called The Standbys.

I have two physically unhealthy cats, and today I decided that Stella is mentally unhealthy. This morning, she climbed the steam pipe in the bathroom to the paper towel dispenser and destroyed a roll of towels. I cleaned that mess up. This afternoon she once overturned the waste basket and left a mess of shredded paper all over the floor.

I think she needs ritalin.

Yikes!

Wednesday afternoon greetings! So far today I’ve received notifications that 4 things on my calendar between now and the beginning of April have been cancelled. Three of them are due to local universities (Miami and Univ. Of Cincinnati) curtailing face-to-face events. The fourth is the 121st Ohio DAR state convention.

DR TCB if Tacoma Little Theatre hasn't sold all of the seats maybe they will stay open. I would think as long as their are under 250 people seated they are ok. I expect people will also decide not to go on their own.

I have a friend who slowly tamed and rescued two feral cat, one after the other. Once inside neither cat has shown any interest in ever going back outside. The night before last one of them went missing. They have hunted all over the house and suspect he went outside.

Vibes he is found safe would be appreciated.

I just got an e-mail from Tacoma Little Theatre and a few things (among many) that they're doing is (based on Governor Inslee's press conference) are:

*Audience seating for all events will be limited to 200 individuals
*Only pre-packaged concession food items will be sold
*There will be no meet and greet with the cast after performances, and audiences will be encouraged to depart immediately after the performance.

Dreams about former workplaces usually reveal unresolved issues with people there OR a desire to return to a place of comfort that has a familiar or pleasant routine.....

DR ELMORE's dream indicates that he feels foreign productions have less production value than homegrown ones or that they do not explore all of the nuances of the original material.....

Our season ticket drive begins early next month. Our theatre seats 198 folks....but I am concerned about what actions may be taken locally that will affect our sales.....

I also have auditions on April 13, 14......and I think some people may stay away....not the ones I WANT to stay away - they will be there EN MASSE - but others who may just decide not to participate this year.

Tonight after work, I'm going back to Mark Anton's vocal workshop. Last week, we just sang through a few random songs and chatted and had a fun time. Tonight, I'm bringing music for a song that I want to sing. I don't know if anyone's heard of it..."Two Roads" by these young upstarts Richard Sherman and Bruce Kimmel. I hope I do it justice!

Good for you, George! Let the song become known by more people.

I slept very poorly last night. I did have one really peculiar dream, and I only remember bits of it now. I was in the home where I grew up; my mother and at least one of my brothers was in it. We were looking for movie times. I remember asking if we had a Cincinnati Enquirer. One of the movies I wanted to see was The Amorous Flea.

Then I was working at The Drama Book Shop and a customer was looking for The Amorous Flea! I found it in a Samuel French catalog, and it was a sex comedy, not the off-Broadway musical. Then I was watching a rehearsal/performance? of this comedy with too-old, too-fat men and women running around in underwear or less. The British actress Jenny Agutter was in it as well, very naked and very thin.

I always like Jenny Agutter, but I especially like her in CALL THE MIDWIFE.

The TOD: "Today’s topic of discussion: What are the best-directed shows you’ve seen – but not the show-off ones – the simple ones where the director doesn’t call attention to himself, but just tells the story well and gets great performances?"

In movies, I tend to think of Arthur Hiller and Sidney Lumet, but didn't Lumet become known for work he was able to contribute to helping develop the script? [For so many, something went wrong with "The Wiz," but doesn't it now look like once Diana Ross was cast as Dorothy so Dorothy was an adult he did the best he could?

For Lena Horne's big number, the camera pretty much just watched and enjoyed

As it should.

But I think you can see a problem that Dorothy as an adult felt like the character's development into an adult had stopped in her teens somehow, didn't it?

The lyric feels more right directed at those kids than an adult school teacher.

Agreed.

Have you tried any web searches on "hyperactive cat"? You might find some interesting information.
