One Things and Another

Brooks Bunch

Considering all that's happened in the past few days, this will be a rather short entry, because I have to get up early in the morning to fetch Thomas from the airport. That's right, he's coming home.

Friday night was the opening of "Refund." I wouldn't say it went perfectly, but the audience laughed and I got a lot of compliments afterwards. Saturday's show was also well-received, although it started a bit late. The power went out in Wolfeboro at around quarter after 7. We agreed to call off the show if it didn't come back on by 8:30. Actors finished up their makeup in the dark, and we kidded around about lighting the show with flashlights (although we couldn't legally or morally put the audience at risk for the sake of one show). And the lights came on at 8:10, to cheers from the audience.

Blasting right from one show into the other, the first rehearsal for "The Pajama Game" was last night. I'm playing the part of Vernon Hines, the executive at the Sleep Tite Pajama Factory who's twin obsessions are time and the superintendent's secretary, Gladys.

And now I have to go to bed.
