I never know what to think or say in these situations except for "how terribly awful". Thoughts are certainly with Audra in such a difficult time.
That's absolutley horrible. I hope she can get through this alright.
How awful. Sending thoughts Audra's way.
Absolutely. Prayers and thoughts go out to Audra and the McDonald family. God bless them.
I honestly don't know how she's going to do this. At least I don't know if I would be able to, but theater is a great place for healing. Our prayers are with Audra and her family at this time.
So sad. I pray for You, your father, and your family
You're a strong woman, Audra. I pray that you can get through this.
How awful. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

According to playbill.com, she is doing the show tomorrow, but taking off Wednesday and Thursday. She will be back on Friday. I can't imagine doing the performance tomorrow, I would be a mess. Hopefully she is staying strong.
Man, that is horrible !! Thoughts and prayers are with you, Audra !!!

Truly terrible news. Of course my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. And I'm with n69n re: doing something.

I'm going to see 110 on Saturday and I feel like I should do something.

So sad and so awful. It is a shame when bad things happen t o good people.
My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. I went through this last week, and have much sympathy for her.
Wow - pulling off a huge role in a talked about production and dealing with the death of a parent - too much for one person.
Who is her understudy, just in case she misses a few days?
Colleen Fitzpatrick is her understudy
