We're a hit!


Forum is now open and the crowds are loving it. And I'm having SO much fun! The show gang continues to get tighter on and off stage. I'm going to enjoy the heck out of the next few days. (Left to right in the photo of "Everybody Ought to Have A Maid": me, Kilty Reidy, James Brennan, Charles Parker. Photo by Mark Reeves.)

We had a tornado warning yesterday. Ironically I had just spoken with Mom earlier in the day and she told me that if I were in my room I should get in the bathtub and cover myself with a mattress. I also thought I might chain myself to a pipe like Bill Paxton in Twister. Instead we moseyed over to the theatre early and chilled in the bunker. I hear that Century II is one of the safest spots in all of Wichita during a twister. Anyway, the storm fizzled out and we only lost a couple hundred hesitant audience members for the evening show. The only other setback was losing internet connection until just a few minutes ago when the cable dude dropped by to reset the router. Now we're good to go!

So I'm sitting here working on my closing project for Forum and watching some MadTV. Can't wait to get to the theatre for another trip to ancient Rome. Take care, all! Peace and love.

A funny thing happened on the way to Wichita.

Opening night! Last night's invited dress found us facing our first audience and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. It will be even better tonight with a full house and a bit of fine tuning under our belts. Well, I'm off to Wichita's own Forum... Century II. Take care, all! Peace and love! (Oh yeah... and go Obama!)

Eunuchs... A BUYER!

A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Forum opens on Wednesday night here in Wichita and I can't wait. Thanks to the unit set and minimal costume changes (and hard work from everybody involved) we are in such good shape going into final dress rehearsal day and will even have some time to do some fine tuning tomorrow before we don the duds and do the 'dos. What a pleasure this production has been – such talented folk across the board. I'm having a great time and learning a lot too. This is definitely a show that will be over way too quickly, so I'm planning on enjoying the rest of the ride to the fullest. If you want to read a little about the show, click here.

Take care, all! Peace and love.
