I've actually thought about this before, but I assume that some of my 'real-life' board friends would know I died, and they'd spread the word to all of you.
I will echo the sentiments of Emcee, I love each and everyone one of you, b/c we are part of a family and you are all unique and important members in it.
I also think I would not be too concerned re the board
I agree.
I wanna be Mr Roxy's understudy!
But I like Cats - oh well, we all need to add some flair to the role.
before or after the non-existent parade and the mourning of none?
By the time I die though, I'll be someone everyone knows and the entire theatre community will know I died...
(haha yeah right)
"...the entire theatre community will know I died."
You need to take that a step further. Will the entire theatre community mourn or...?
"What happens when one of us passes away?"
The body sits in the bottom left corner, somewhere between "your web site" and "ads by Google," and after a while the site starts to smell a little funky.
In all seriousness, though, I agree with the buddy system.
It is official
I pass the baton on to Thenardier when I pass on. All my theater memorabilia will be willed to Goodspeed & it is a ton
By the way, I read some where that when Brando & the female star left Streetcar on broadway, the replacemenst were Anthony Quinn & Jessica Tandy. Not too shabby
I hope the whole community mourns my death, but who knows? What happens if I follow the likes of Betty Buckley?
You could go the way of many others who trod the boards & were not remembered
I will remember you but I have a feeling I will be long gone before you are
Honestly, I have no problem with this topic, very odd, I have plans with a BWWer who I haven't talked to since Wednesday and they haven't been online, I really don't think anything serious happened, but the thought came to me...
Quite a few BWWers have my phone number, and I'd assume after awhile they would call, and I guess hopefully someone in my family would answer.
Actually, one night I dreamt I was going to die in a couple of months, and I was totally okay with it. I'm not scared of death like most.
if anything happens to me (gets sick, goes in the hospital, car accident-induced coma... use your imagination) my mom knows the password to my caringbridge page and would update it for me untill I could.
you never know when you're going to go... i was so close to it last summer... and i'm still young. you can't predict who goes first.

Oddly enough, I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately. You see, we haven't heard from Once A Dancer in a very long time. SHe IS 84 years old and lives in Israel. Honestly, I say a prayer for her every day nd hope that she's well.
I hope there is an after life and I come back as the owner of a tv station.
A Broadway tv station.

no one knows me on this board in the real world...so you'd never know
are you kidding? if someone on this board died, all of our screens would be DIMMED at 8 p.m., and it would just be a matter of figuring out who's missing.
If anything happened to me, my wife would go to my AIM Buddy list and tell the people on there what happened. Since several people on my list are BWW posters, I am sure the news would get back here.

I like the buddy system, too. If my show closed, I think Dave or one or more of my "real life" friends would get on here and let folks know. Then I'd like to sing in the heavenly choruses of all the shows I didn't get to do in this life! And some of the ones I did!
And thank you, Mr. Roxy for the explanation of heaven and hell. For me, I think hell would be Mr. Goulet reading the teleprompter.
