After 10+ years away from the theatre... I have been cast as George Bailey in Theatre Windsors production of It's A Wonderful Life... And my wife Sarah is playing Mary...

I'm back on stage!

And I get to meet the Original Zuzu!

How cool is that, eh!

"a part to dye for?"

If I had enough to part, it would be.... I'm gonna try to see if I can sell the wig idea to the director... The problem is, the theatres budget is 'zip-a-dee-do-da' (To quote the producer)

It's great to be back, strutting the boards as it were... 10+ years away from the theatre is too long away...

So, who's buying tickets?

Why would I want to even TRY to BE Jimmy Stewart? One would have to be a moron to ever consider it an option.... Oh... right... that is you, MG... Whatever....

Met Karolyn Grimes last night at a reception in her honour... what a LOVELY lady! The world needs more people like her...

"Yer the one holding the rose, right?"
I wish! That kid is a WONDER to work with... if she did it right, she could be a superstar!

Thanks Janie!

From: Don Firth

Speaking of "break a leg. . . ."

A guy I went to high school with (great baritone voice, even when he was sixteen) did pretty well on Broadway. His name was Frank Bouley, and he was constantly being mistaken for Robert Goulet because of the similarity of names and because they sounded a lot alike. He auditioned for "Damn Yankees" and although he didn't get the part he wanted, he did get into the musical. He understudied the lead. When he heard on the radio that the lead had broken a leg, he admitted to a small leap of glee, thinking, "Now's my big chance!!" He was all ready to take over that evening, but shortly before curtain time and against his doctor's orders, the guy showed up wearing a walking-cast and proceeded to do the show anyway. He got a standing ovation. That's show biz!

Congratulations, Clinton! (Who plays Clarence?)

Because Clinton. Jimmy Stewart personified the role. How can you improve on it? From what I have seen of your personality here, anyone who knows you would not attend, and the ones who do, would obviously be high.

From: Clinton Hammond

To quote Sean Connery "He's a dead as Jullius Caesar"

We've been playing to raves... The show just keeps getting better and better and better... There's talk of adding 2 or 3 show nights... The problem is that the cast is HUGE and we likely won't be able to make schedule changes work this late in the season.... But here, at only half way through the run, we've already broken all the attendance/income records for Theatre Windsor... after this afternoon (sold out again) we'll still have 4 more shows to do...

Thankfully I'm gonna get a few days off though, cause wouldn't ya know, I got a bitch of a head/chest cold... Got a voice like 5 miles of broken glass right now... luckily curtain doesn't go up till 2 PM...
