So Far So Good

The trick of getting a show to run while avoiding major disasters is planning, careful planning. Yet even the best of plans can not prevent a small oops. We have been very lucky so far. To date I think we have suffered a ripped zipper, a cut finger, a dropped and spilled glass of water, a slightly stuck guillotine, and a zippy light blip. All minor incidents, and with the great reflexes of this cast and crew, barely noticible. It has been a good run. A fine show. It's the way theatre should be.

Peering forward he said, "Who's yacht is that?"

The Actor's Nightmare is rolling along very nicely. Matt, as George, is displaying all the necessary qualities of being truly lost, but still interested in playing the game. Lorn has her leading ladies down well, including the withering stare. Melanie plays the discombobulated stage manager so well that you forget that she isn't the stage manager. She's been one before I think. Couso, well he has a very spooky voice don't you think? Kind of appropriate really. Jillian, stares, and turns, and blinks, quite vividly. That's the truth- you need to see the show to see what I mean, she does a great job considering she's virtually imprisoned. Go see the show, you'll see what I mean, and have a great time laughing your way through it.

Partial list of those going to hell?

Frankly, between you and me, the list is outdated. Hasn't Brooke redeemed herself with her tell alls? And going to hell. Is Sister Mary really sure? How did she get access to this list? Does she have God's password? Needless to say, Sister Mary does seem to have very certain views about- well everything! I need to talk to Janice, the actress that portrays her, and see where she believes Sister Mary's coming from. Because I think I know where she's going to, and wouldn't Brooke make good company?

You Can Take It With You?

Yes, according to Sister Mary Ignatious, you can and do take it with you. All your bad behavior, ill deeds, nefarious thoughts, they all are irreparably stamped on your soul as you travel to other celestial dimensions. Hmmm. Worth thinking about I'd guess. Then again, Sister Mary spouts some pretty outlandish stuff. Hmmm. Well, this much is certain, you can take it with you when it comes to the euphoric giddy feeling sustained after laughing all evening long at the Set Group's new show. You actually float out of the theatre to your car. Hmmm ;)

extreme props list?

A cigarette holder, two really lethal cutting devices, a stopwatch, a stabbing tool, a pen and letter, trash cans???? Things at Aunt Betty's yard sale? Nooooo. There's more, more really weird stuff, but I can't really explain it. You need to see it. The play, The Actor's Nightmare, is only describable if you've seen it. You need to see it. Buy your tickets and take a seat, and then you'll know what all these things are for. Trust me, it's worth it.
