that was awesome!

weird though. I was at the Sept. 20th evening show and I didn't hear that woman say "take your clothes off!" hmmm.

<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

Were you sitting in the very rear of mezzanine?

It wasn't shouted loud enough for the stage to hear it, just the center back half of the upstairs.

I don't know what I find more interesting, the fact that someone shouted that or the fact that if the person shouting it was truly only interested in seeing Daniel Radcliffe naked she didn't cough up the money for an orchestra seat.

Though I'm appalled it happened at all, really. Awesome abridged, though! I love these so much that a new one made my day.

I was also at the evening show on 9/20, and didn't hear a thing---of course, I was one of "those people" who was on the WRONG side of the stage...

I admittedly don't know much about Equus, but from reading that script, it sounds like one screwed up play.

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
