The story and the music are just so moving. I also must add that the set was one of my favorites – check it out: http://www.hillmardesign.com/bus/showpg/kixmas/KIX.shtml <BR/><BR/>And the lights…Lynn rocked this! Well, shoot the show was just damn good. AND I have really fond memories of working with Bruce and Phil (Phil - who I still call Pie Boy to this day – his character in the show.) What a rare treat! <BR/><BR/>I have to agree with Steve, it was hard to compete with Wonderful Life. Come on Bruce…skip Best Christmas Pageant Ever next time, and put in King Island!

Not sure if any of them are true, but I am intrigued. Also, it's just a great play.

Of course seeing Bruce and Phil both on stage, each with one talented child in tow, was a thrill as well. <BR/><BR/>I suppose though that the problem is that the show did not draw very large crowds. It didn't help that the wildly popular "It's A Wonderful Life" with Duke Lafoon was drawing HUGE crowds at TVA, but the lack of title recognition at the Holidays couldn't have helped any. <BR/><BR/>I hate to admit this, but we still pull out the soundtrack at least once every Christmas. Of the 40 or so Theatre IV productions I was either a part of or watched, this is one of the tops, hands down.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914556255601743949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-1416389613053240762008-05-29T09:52:00.000-04:002008-05-29T09:52:00.000-04:00Cynic. ;)Oh, the cleverness of me! OK...I'll sto...Cynic. ;)<BR/><BR/>Oh, the cleverness of me! <BR/><BR/>OK...I'll stop laughing at my own lame jokes now.<BR/><BR/>I'm incredibly excited about <I>Sanders</I>!!! Especially since it <I>seems</I> that we're <B>all</B> coming back!<BR/><BR/>My favorite cast ever! It was such a perfect meshing. It just clicked, across the board, which doesn't happen often.<BR/><BR/>And the show is really fun. And June has a beautiful speech toward the end (but I won't give it away for those that haven't seen it).<BR/><BR/>And I think the <I>Tuna</I> shows are hysterical (but it's been probably almost a decade since I've read the Christmas one).<BR/><BR/>In spite of not being a holiday person, ESPECIALLY Christmas, I think I'm hanging up my cynic hat at least for the theatre part of the holiday season.<BR/><BR/>And Henley street's season kinda rocks!<BR/><BR/>And TIV doing <I>Frog and Toad</I>! Way excited about that!<BR/><BR/>Too long, BC...too long!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the shout out Frank!!!Thespis' Little Helperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916895788691907962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-56323426447797591902008-05-29T09:09:00.000-04:002008-05-29T09:09:00.000-04:00Main thought Dave: One of the most amusing posts ...Main thought Dave: One of the most amusing posts I've seen herein! More specifically: You're not the only geek, I'm a spreadsheet guy too (I often do character and scene breakdowns, with color-coded cells, to help in my rehearsal process - geek enough?) Also, "Four Queens in Hawaiian Shirts"??? The title alone is enough to make you want to go see it!<BR/><BR/>But, on theatre in the area overall: I think most of us lament the fact that if you are in a production at any given time, you often can't find the time to see other shows around town. So, you have to "triage" and pick specific ones. For me, I try to hit those that include friends I've worked with previously; shows including folks I don't know get lowest priority. So there's clearly a lot of theatre around town, because I hear the same complaint from others - friends who say they would have loved to come see a production I am in/was recently in, but couldn't because of their own production commitments. Hey, I understand.<BR/><BR/>But there are some fascinating productions planned for next year, no question...but I too am not a big fan of Christmas productions, whether sequels or not, Dave. I guess that means I'll have to do my turn as Scrooge in an upcoming Christmas Carol production one of these years! (But hey, BC - that doesn't mean I won't come see "Sanders Family" later this year!)Frank Creasyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302762603707230845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-21276557456603559822008-05-29T07:56:00.000-04:002008-05-29T07:56:00.000-04:00I think you are right on with choosing Henley Stre...I think you are right on with choosing Henley Street's season as most intriguing. Richard III will be provocative and an all-female cast for "Rosencrantz" will surely highlight the deep bench of female acting talent in this town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-61392325291767170332008-05-29T01:28:00.000-04:002008-05-29T01:28:00.000-04:00I would love to see Theatre IV do 'King Island Chr...I would love to see Theatre IV do 'King Island Christmas' again.
