All of you North Georgia SoWallers...

break a leg!!!

Break a leg!

Break a leg!

You, too, Kase! I wish I could make it down for BLITHE SPIRIT, but, alas...

However, I think about you every night. There is a line in KATE about Noel Coward. One of my students just read the play, too. Did you find furniture for the show?

Hey, Hop--did you go to conference this year?

Reverse mooching, I love it!!!

I have a couch, a loveseat, and a daybed...bring 2 tall friends, and an oompa-loompa for the loveseat! (Just don't expect me to get around to cleaning the house before you come.)

If you're bringing Gnomes, I'll clean out my dresser drawers for them...

I don't think we have all of our furniture yet...We're still working on it. Did your student like the play? I always wonder what people think when they read it without any of the physical comedy and some of the jokes are hard to catch the first time. I'm STILL finding jokes I missed, and I've been through the show about 200 times. I'm curious to hear what he/she thought of it.

If you get a chance, post some pictures from your show, and I'll do the same once we get some. That way, we can pretend like we were there.

He did like the play...he was interested because I told him about your situation there!

I have to remember to take a camera... If not, I'll get some from the director. I'm about to go to bed, finally. My drummer is threatening to kill me if I don't get some sleep. This is the first time I can remember being truly scared about my own performance. The kids have worked hard and are in great shape, but I'm not quite where I need to be and I have no time to practice...argggh! :shock:

You'll do GREAT!!!!

I'm sure you'll do fine. Break a.... leg, finger, what do you say for a pianist?

I think it's "Don't Suck!"

Yeah that works.

Here's a couple of the production shots:
End tableau, in "Shrew" costumes, "Another Op'nin'," and what I call "the proposal..."

Looks like one of those classy North Georgia "step on the neck" proposals.

Seriously, what is he doing in that picture?

Have a great performance NH (the girl, not the state)!

See Kitty's reply...It's a great show within a show about a group who is doing "The Taming of the Shrew" in Baltimore in 1948. The two leads in "Shrew," Fred and Lilli, are celebrating the first anniversary of their divorce. During their performance of "Shrew," Lilli gets really, really angry with Fred and slaps him (twice, and punches him in the stomach a couple of times and kicks him in the butt) on stage, and they deliver their Shakespeare lines with more than the intended antagonism. He ends up pinning her to the stage to keep her from hitting him while he's shouting out his lines about how he loves her and that her father has consented to give him her hand.

That scene takes place about 2 feet in front of me, and I have to turn my back to the audience so they don't see me laughing.

Not that we know any sassy women...

thanks! Just pray I get some sleep first!

New event:

Formal Piano recital at Piedmont College (www.piedmont.edu) on Saturday at 7:30. Reception (with cake!) following.

If you are one of the 3 people in the world who likes to hear Beethoven played by amateur pianists (professional gardeners!) this is the event for you. We will save you a seat.

I will also be torturing Bach, Debussy, Mendelssohn, and Gershwin. But don't forget that I'll be serving cake. (Piedmont is a dry campus and my parents are teetotaling Baptists, so lets not BYOB this time.)
