sorry Tinky, you've not been here at the same time as me lately. trust me, if you were...you'd be getting all my attention.
D_A. as of right now my collection is in my parents basement. It includes bricks from the barricade from the Les Mis Anniversary concert in 95, an autographed Phantom mask from a travelling cast that my sister saw in Atlanta, The whistle with an autographed picture of the cast from a travelling cast (also in Atlanta) of "The Silver Whistle", and I have a Technicolor Dreamcoat. (but it's mine from when I did the show 2 or 3 years ago)
"Applause begets applause in the theatre, as laughter begets laughter and tears beget tears."
CLAYTON HAMILTON, "Theory of the Theatre"
"I think theater ought to be theatrical ... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's -- there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is."
TOM STOPPARD
