Howdy, ya'll. It's been a red letter couple of weeks for me, let me tell ya! I've had to shell out enormous amounts of cash on my car... bills keep piling up...I've been buried in work... It's cold as shit, so naturally my son has horrible cabin fever (as do I!) and NOW to boot, the poor little guy has a rotten cold (after just getting over the flu a few weeks ago!) Life, it seems, is a bit tedious of late. BUT, I know it will get better. Always does...It's times like these that I try to count blessings and be thankful for all the good things (and they ARE many)...but BOY HOWDY it gets tough to do that sometimes.
On the bright side, I have entered into a really positive rehearsal process with my cast at school, my classes are going well, and I actually feel re-energized as a teacher. My classes, for the most part, are large and attentive, with some very talented and interesting folks. The wife and I have discovered the joy that IS VERONICA MARS (do yourself a favor and rent or buy the DVDS) AND...ATLANTA HER I COME!!! I GET TO GO TO SETC IN TWO WEEKS!!!!! Much to the chagrin of my long suffering better half...but I'll make it up to her someway...
So, with all that in mind, how about a new querry? If you were running a Theatre, what would your DREAM SEASON of plays be? Lets say, hypothetically, you are allowed six shows to produce. Any genre, any era, anything you like. Com'on people...light a fire under me. I need it!
AND let me know if there is anything show or audition-wise you'd like me to add to the front page. Be glad to hook you up. Also give me a shout as to what you think of the new look to the Clones. I'm here to serve, people!

BTW- For those of you Lex folks who know Melissa Patterson, she is in Raleigh now, and just appeared in Burning COal's production of PENTACOST (which garnered great reviews- hard to keep them Davis boys down!Check out their link on the main page for pics, etc...) and she is about to asm BC's next production of MIDSUMMER- directed by David Henderson, hubby of Betsy Thompson, former USM DIVA!
See how it all fits together?
Way to go, Mel!

Sad news. I'd love to do something for those guys. Any ideas?
Isn't Rock Hill, SC where Laddy Sartin lives nowadays?
I believe it is.
D$, isn't Wintrop around there too?
All right, I tried to go at this as though I were actually constructing a viable season and not just list six plays I want to do, but a balanced slate of plays that might actually be interesting, get an audience, make some money (or at least not lose any), and not sink the theatre:
1)I'd start off with a good old fall down funny farce. THREE MEN ON A HORSE, great old thirties classic about a nebbish with a knack for picking horses hijacked by gamblers. BACK-UP PLAY: MOVE OVER, MRS. MARKHAM, classic Ray Cooney British sex farce from the sixties that is just impeccably constructed...and very funny.
2)A NEW or NEW-ISH PLAY: THE OLD MASTERS by Simon Gray...or the SEAFARER by Conor McPherson. Both serious, but also funny. OLD MASTERS is about two Art experts (actual persons) debating the authenticity of a painting in Mussolini's Italy during the run-up to WW II. THE SEAFARER...The Devil comes to play poker with a bunch of Irish layabouts for one of their souls.
3)Holiday play time. I don't want to do the usual Christmas play, so we'll do A Musical. 110 IN THE SHADE...a musical version of Richard Nash's THE RAINMAKER by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones. It's a contained musical, not requiring a huge cast and has a great score. I'd bring in pal, Bruce Kimmel, the man who has recorded more show music than anyone in the last twenty-five years, to direct. He's also a close friend of Schmidt and Jones.
4)The musical has filled our coffers: Classic time. DON CARLOS by Schiller...a powerful, haunting play. BACK-UP: THE PRETENDERS, an early historic play by Henrik Ibsen. I'd do the translation/adaptation.
5)Something light, frothy to counterbalance the classic. I'm thinking Noel Coward or George Bernard Shaw...both of whom I find very funny, but smart. Coward: PRESENT LAUGHTER, about a vain, fading matinee idol or FALLEN ANGELS, two women friends-rivals await the arrival of an old beau. It has one of the funniest drunk scenes (an entire act) I've ever seen. My Shaw would be MISALLIANCE or ARMS & THE MAN.
6)Another recent play. GIFT OF THE GORGON by Peter Shaffer or PILLOWMAN by Martin McDonagh. Though I might want to slip in THE CLEARING by Helen Edmundson...a play about Cromwell trying to eradicate the Irish race.
Actually, that's a pretty great season, Rick. I think you'd make a killing off that one, personally.
And Chuck - I love Simon Gray. He'd probably be in my season as well.
X, I saw OLD MASTERS a couple of seasons ago. Very nice play...Edward Fox and Peter Bowles doing great star turns as the Art experts. Also had my favourite British actress in it, Sally Dexter.
THE PILLOWMAN by Martin McDonagh
BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming
GLENGARY GLEN ROSS by David Mamet
BLOOD WEDDING by Federico Garcia Lorca, translated by Lillian Groag
FOOL FOR LOVE by Sam Shepard
DIVAS IN 3D: DIVAS' DELICIOUS DEMENTIA by The Divas
LOL! ANOTHER DIVA SHOW!!! That's you're money maker, right Millsy?
Yea! I figured something has to pay for the other five.
I've been to well of horniness many times...
That well is often found to be dry or contaminate, eh?
eww.
Ouch! Was that really called for???
"Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score"
No one else was claiming the song and I am really just discovering Queen (the problem with growing up in Kentucky). "The Show Must Go On"
I apologize but I'm a musicals geek and this list is being done quickly but here goes anyway....
Sweeney Todd
Keeley and Du (or Down the Road)
Noises Off
Titus Andronicus
Caberet
Wild Party (the Andrew Lippa one - a great musical for a small venue...hint hint) :)
Is it strange that I have two shows where people eat other people?? Yikes.
P.S.
Adam - we did The Birds at EKU and it was the most horrible production I think I've ever been in. It wasn't the story, of course. It was the production. Embarrassing.
Here's mine, btw:
The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail- Lawrence and Lee
Simpatico- Shepard
The Lieutinant of Inishmore or The Lonsome West-Martin McDonagh
Antigone ( a new Chuck Pogue adaptation-hey if he can do Tartuffe for Rick...)
ROCK OF AGES (Great new 80's musical...someone say Cash cow!?!?)
Rat in the Skull- Ron Hutchinson
Possibly, if Queen's SHOW MUST GO ON was in that film...there were so many, I've forgotten!
