Hi Jay,

Oh yeah - was nice talking to you! Bet being there the final night of Company was great (and kinda sad) too! We missed hearing Raul's speech....

Unfortunately (well, not really unfortunate) we'll be in Vegas during that time period so we'll miss it. Would have liked to go though, Lyn would have loved to!

orangeskittles, I got your joke, if it makes you feel better! :) I was in a production of Our Town in high school, and I've seen it professionally produced several times. Yes, I know it's a 'classic' but it's honestly one of my least favorite plays.

I am flying in to see Party Come Here and Blithe Spirit, though!

Thank you! I thought it would be obvious enough to anyone that's seen Our Town, since it's rather well-known for it. I also disliked the play when I read it. Then I was shanghaied into a semi-production in high school and grew to hate it even more. 'Classic' does not equal good.

"Party Come Here" - wasn't that the one with Terrence Mann in it last year in the theatre festival? It wasn't bad at all!

Yes, Ken, that's the one. Hunter Foster, Kerry Butler, Karen Olivo, and others were also in it. Hunter is in the Williamstown production along with Kate Reinders, Malcolm Gets, Kaitlin Hopkins and a few others.
