Jerry! We're All Waiting ... (12th Night)

[cjd-player]

However, feedback (some of it overheard in a restaurant the next day by a member of the cast) was that the audience enjoyed it

Good on ya, Jerry.

I think peope are generally appreciative of folks who are willing to take the risk of being up on stage. I've never done any acting, but have been stage crew in some amateur musicals. I think "disasters" typically just add to the charm of the event.

If I'm correct, you're doing it all over again as I write this. I hope it goes well for you and you have lots of fun.

As Ben (Geezer) Franklin once put it: "Early to rise, early to bed ... "

Didn't he say something about "all cats are gray in the dark", too?

Jerry - thanks for the story and glad you survived. It can only get better, right? :wink: :wink:

 

[JerryR]

Yes guys - Thursday night went very well Girls have their last night tonight - my wife has gone to watch. Only Saturday for us now (wife is going to that too).

Glad to hear that things went better for you the second night.

I wouldn't expect even you to walk into a piano twice! :shock:

Graham on the other hand. :roll:

For a moment I thought the piano was Graham :roll: Apparently some of the first night audience thought the fall up the stairs was deliberate

Like the old addage: If you're going to make a mistake, make it loud, and people will think it was supposed to be that way. :mrgreen:

Some stills from the Dress rehearsal:

Act 2 scene 3 Malvolio tries to break up a late night drunken revel led by Sir Toby belch.

Act 2 Scene 5 Malvolio is deceived by a letter written by Maria that it comes from his boss, Lady Olivia, and she is in love with him.

The deceived malvolio tries it on with Lady Olivia - in yellow stockings with cross garters!

Looks like William Shatner, no? :shock:

Beam him up Scotty!




Looks fabulous, Jerry.

Looks like you had a ball doing that.
You're gonna wear that at Arlington, right? :wink:

(So we can all recognize you, that is.)

There were times when I nearly Shatnered my pants :mrgreen:

Which - the nightie or the little black dress :mrgreen:

Due to a classic veer by Cap, any reference to crits is on this thread :mrgreen:

We'll pick out just the right Stetson to go with that nightie, Jer. Boots too of course; after all....this is Texas, dang itl....

 

[capnjuan]

Are they still makin' high-heeled cowboy boots down Tejas way......?

 

[Scratch]

You betcha, John. We're talking custom made here! :shock:

 

[JerryR]

As mentioned previously with Jim, I am looking to get boots - nothing fancydan - just good honest $h*tkickers which I will then get some hoss-sweat in down Bandera way to give them the right kudos :mrgreen: But I like my straw hat I bought in Oaxaca so not seeking to add a straw stet :!: I will be looking to buy 2 or 3 pairs of Levi 501 though - generally restock when in the States as they are a ridiculous price in the UK

 

[Scratch]

501s under a nightie? That won't look good...
