Who have you gotten stuff back from? — Page 154

"The same thing happened with Violet. Got my stuff back, but no cast signed playbill or donation request."

Isn't it expecting a lot for them to honor all of these individual requests and know they are meant to send you a playbill signed by everyone as well?

My point was that there is a good possibility that since you are sending them old stuff to get signed, in addition to wanting a signed playbill from the new show, that they see the stuff you sent them to get signed was for a specific actor, put it in his tray, they grab it, sign it, and pop it back into the SASE, and that's the end of it. They may have no clue there are multiple requests in the one letter.

So, the stage manager reads enough of the letter to put it in Fred's basket, Fred gets two things to sign and a SASE. He signs them, put them into the SASE, and puts it in the outgoing mail tray. That seems pretty plausible without it being related to BC/EFA or anything.

I got a cast signed playbill from The Elephant Man from the stage manager today.

Sent today:
- Cabaret (for Emma Stone)
- Rachel Bay Jones

Lol. I made a joke today that the post office must dread me coming because it takes 15 - 20 minutes to get everything ready to send (I address everything beforehand).

I got a responce from Keala Settle today! She signed a few photos, my La Jolla Side Show program, my Hands on a Hardbody CD cover, and a cast signed Les Mis Gay Pride playbill! :)

Has anyone sent a cast signed playbill request to It's Only A Play? Did you receive a response?
