Hey All!
I recall seeing a British movie many, MANY years ago on television...black & white...probably from the 40's or 50's...regarding the rehearsing of a rather wretched, trite play by a repertory theatre company...a rather bitter sweet comedy in which one of the subplots involves a husband and wife acting team in which the husband is dealing with failure (and alcoholism?), and the wife is offered an incredible acting project, which if she accepts would seriously endanger her marriage. I believe was was based upon a stage play. I think it was called something like "Next Tuesday, We Open."
Does this ring any bells wilth anyone.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.
