Gimme a break!

How quickly the time flies... but thankfully so. After two weeks without a full day off, we have achieved this beautiful gift. Tomorrow (well... later today) is our Monday off! The show has been received very well and we're selling lots of tickets, but we have been working our butts off to do so. Tomorrow is totally free of Li'l Abner.

As I mentioned, the show has been received very well including really positive reviews in the LA Times and Variety and numerous blogs. That's super nice. And we had a special event on Saturday – a talkback with Charlotte Rae (original Broadway Mammy Yokum), Julie Newmar (movie Stupefyin' Jones), Stella Stevens (movie Appassionata), and Hope Holiday (original Broadway and movie casts). It was rather surreal watching these lovely ladies in their latter years still fight for the limelight. Next Saturday is supposed to bring a visit with movie Mammy Yokum (and Witchie Poo from H.R. Puff-N-Stuff), Billie Hayes.

But as of now, I have a list of stuff to do on my day off. At the top of the list... sleep in. Then I've gotta do laundry, get the oil changed, tidy the room and car, and... we'll see what else gets done. I'm just happy to get a day of R & R before heading back to good ol' Dogpatch U.S.A.

Take care, all! Peace and love! Go Obama!
