Bobby Spencer to join Alice Ripley in Arena's NORMAL — Page 2

Wasn't there a playbill article saying she was doing it?

---

Suddenly, I have stopped getting arena emails. No idea why.

Hope Alice is confirmed soon- outside of Arena stuff.

(Hi miss pennywise....we must go see a show again soon...)

Right, but "Crystal City" is really Arlington VA, so its really DC, its less than a mile from the Pentagon.

Arena Stage's Termporary Theatre in Crystal City

As much as i loved jennifer, i wish they'd get Morgan Weed. After i saw her in Saved i was sad i didn't get to see her go on in N2N

Afford me a moment of clarity .

"Right, but 'Crystal City' is really Arlington VA, so its really DC, its less than a mile from the Pentagon."

Sorry, Chance, but Arlington, VA is in VIRGINIA (hence the "VA.") It is NOT in the District of Columbia. And the Pentagon happens to be in Virginia, too. NOT DC.

The Signature Theatre is in Shirlington, Virginia, which is also really Arlington, Virginia (who knows why), yet it is often referred to as being in "DC."

When there's a show in Hoboken, New Jersey, it is never billed as being in "New York." That's because it's NOT. Neither is Jersey City, Newark or Fort Lee. Two different states with their own legislatures, public school systems and history! Any argument that insists the distance between DC and Virginia makes them both "DC" defies logic, geography and reality!

Oddly enough, when my brother and his wife came down to see THE HAPPY TIME at the Signature Theatre with me, we went to a nearby store afterwards, and the manager asked where they were from. My sister-in-law said, "New York." My brother then added, "Well, really New Jersey" because they live about 12 miles from Manhattan. Then they had a big fight because my sister-in-law wants everyone to associate her with "New York," not "New Jersey." While I fully appreciate why someone would want to disassociate themselves from NEW JERSEY (just kidding!), I can't understand anyone thinking that if you tell someone you're going to the "theatre" in Virginia rather than DC, it's going to make any difference. Any way you look at it, you're still 250 miles away from BROADWAY!

Nevertheless, Husk Charmer, it is perfectly fine for Chance to say, "the trip to DC," for he will, in fact have to go to DC first, and it is very close. It's just not "really" DC.

Ask KChenowethfan. She knows better than anyone.

I know arlington is in virginia, hence the VA, but its practically DC, if you'll look at the map, its roughly a mile from the pentagon and across the street from Reagan National, wildly considered the airport of DC, not Arlington.

This statement: "but its practically DC" is not the same as this statement: "so its really DC."

Wow, you're awfully defensive. No wonder you know so much about the Pentagon!
