Spring PleaS for BCEFA and Actors Fund??? — Page 4

Last week Spelling Bee was doing the boards from "I Speak Six Languages". I think I saw posters and playbills too. I didn't look at prices. I know in the fall the boards were like $40.

When I saw Curtains on 4/5 I could have sworn that they said playbills were $30. I wonder if they changed the price. They also had the signed posters for $100.

Nothing at Pirate Queen, but they opened during the collection period.....

On Wednesday April 11 after the curtain call of Company, they actually auctioned Raul's kazoo on the stage and took bids from the audience.

For Drowsy, Jonathan Crombie comes out and makes the Broadway Cares donation announcement...and he says "just to get the ball rolling", he pulls out a $20 bill from his pocket and hands it to someone in the front row and asks that person to put it in the collecting bucket for him. He claims that "actors and buckets make him nervous".

At last night's performance, he handed the $20 bill to me :) I felt very honored...but felt a bit cheated when I saw on the $20 that it was marked in red pen "DC 20" (Drowsy Chaperone, $20? my guess). I guess it's the prop they use to make sure they get the $20 back.

Saw Mamma Mia over the weekend and they are also participating in the spring pleas. They are taking donations and in return for the donations you get Mamma Mia golf balls. They are also selling signed posters and pictures of you with Donna and the Dynamos.

As of last Sunday April 15, Spring Awakening had signed posters for sale.

Sorry to keep asking this but does anyone know for sure that Spring Awakening was selling signed posters in the last 2 days. I really want to get one but I have to make a 2-hour car trip and I am worried they won’t have any since this will be the 3rd time I have tried. Thanks in advance.
