Sadly, Jennifer Smith can't post cryptic messages about herself on bww today. I don't think you are allowed posting priveleges when you're in custody.

I just died happy inside... a little.

But you know, Standing_O, she does get ONE phone call....maybe she will trade that in for posting one message on Broadwayworld.

ROTFL crazyfangirl! Or the one phone call she can have a secretary make dozens of posts for her on that one phone call. Is there a time limit on that?

(BTW, hey S-O!)

Sad, scary, and rather dazzling story. Of course this person MUST have a BWW screen name. How could they not?

If not 4 or 5. That respond to each other. Frequently.

Hey, you know, if she really really wanted to pull one last great "heist" in the spirit of showmanship, she could have her lawyer sell tickets to the arraignment and then pretend to give the money to BCEFA.

Mark my words....the company she worked for is going to try to write those donations off! I can't wait for a statement from Ms. Chenoweth.

In case anyone is interested, Jennifer Smith was a frequent visiter of BroadwayWorld.com and made posts under several different names, mostly using "Spooky" and "Bunchamuncha".

Personally, I feel terrible for Broadway Cares and all those donations. Can't corporations withdraw their contributions in the case of special circumstances?

And the sad thing is, I don't think most people in jail will be theatre lovers. What will she talk about for 15 years?
