Hi! Sorry... doing laundry, and getting Flat Stanley for his trip home tomorrow.
Opening was great. We had very nice crowds, and the shows have gone without a hitch. We have a great show, and I truly hope word of mouth gets lots of people into our small theater.

Good for you guys - and I hope it does well, too! How long is the run?
Three weekends. It's a very, very funny show. And our cast is superb. But there's A LOT going on right now, and it's out in the 'burbs. So who knows...

Those of a philosophical mind would say that those who need to see it will.
But that doesn't always pay the bills.
Get out there and sell that show!
Oh... we're trying. It's a small community theater, used to doing things a certain way, happy with what little people they get to see the shows, afraid of change. I redesigned the posters, made email flyers... we're getting the word out. But again, Seattleites are not likely to drive to Redmond (16 miles) to see a show.

DD - that's so funny - you KNOW how far we drive to see stuff! This weekend alone, just to take in three events on Saturday and Sunday, we put 360 miles on the car!
Well... the kicker is the people in the 'burbs will drive 30 and 40 miles to Seattle to see a show. But people from Seattle will not.

DD - try to get a dinner and show deal going with a local restaurant.
Or offer to drive them there yourself
He he... yeah, not so much!
Ok. I am so happy right now. My ex (and still very close friend) just opened "tick, tick... BOOM!" last week. First opening of his that I miss. And he got an amazing review in the Times on Friday. I am so happy for him! He's worked very hard to get this far...

"But DeSantis is a robust fellow who wears Jonathan's ambivalent angst lightly yet soulfully. His silky pop-tenor voice is a fine fit for such snappy Larson tunes as "Green Green Dress," and ballads such as the charming "See Her Smile." And accompanying himself on piano, DeSantis all but stops the show singing the affirmative rumination, "Why?"
Now that's the kind of press you keep! Good for him! Too bad you had to miss the opening. Will you get to see it at some point?
Going on Thursday. Thursdays are the only days our shows don't conflict.

Well, good - at least you get to see it.
Have you made you holliday travel arrangements yet? I'm trying to get ours all squared away - I need a private secretary!
Ugh... no. I've been crazy with the show and work. I hope to have some time to breathe now.

Time to breather? While dating someone new?
Yes, I read other threads
Well... it would be nice to be able to date someone and see them more than once every other week.

Well, as you say, hopefully now you'll have that time.
And still have time to tell us all about it!
erm... ok. *whistles*
