In the theater world, the last week of rehearsals before a show goes up is affectionately known as “Hell Week.” The 99¢-show sports an unusual Hell Week because a holiday is wedged in there; in honor of that, the cast has been given an entire two days, both Wednesday and Thursday, off before final dress [...]

As a blogging newbie, I am not particularly fluent in the whole tracking technology thing. So at this juncture I would like to publicly acknowledge my reader from Utah who has taken the time not only to read this blog but to comment on it as well: thank you…um, well, I don’t know his name, [...]

He wrote some world-class jazzy pop tunes (Witchcraft, The Best Is Yet To Come) and collaborated on a number of hit musicals (Sweet Charity, City Of Angels, Barnum, On The Twentieth Century), winning a slew of Tony awards in the [...]

In addition to being a stand-up guy, Justin Tanner writes hilarious plays.

(Bonus-extra: hottie Jeremy Sisto sighting in the beer garden apres.) This incarnation marks the fifth [...]
At today’s rehearsal for the 99¢ show, I got to try out my stilts for the first time. After five or ten nervous, wobbly minutes, I had to be warned to slooooow down for my own safety. Sorry, but anyone who says that being tall is overrated is short. On a completely different note, for [...]
Looky who shops at my grocery store… xxx c
Since I can remember, I’ve wanted to be taller. After seeing the teeny-tiny contact pads on the stilts I will be performing with for the gloriously crazy-ass new 99¢ holiday operetta, I am reminded of the old adage, “Be careful what you wish for.” Still, I would crawl much farther out of my comfort zone [...]
