I just wanted to say that I LOVE the play Veronica's Room and I am psyched to see it as well as catching one of my favorite actors, Scott Melton, on stage again. Break-a-leg to the entire cast.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425155667959955946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-80863626702815116772008-05-27T19:54:00.000-04:002008-05-27T19:54:00.000-04:00Rebecca Muhleman is on her way to becoming one of ...Rebecca Muhleman is on her way to becoming one of the top actresses in Richmond.

I don't wanna speak for any theatre specifically, but I haven't been sitting in a full house when I went to see a show in Richmond in months! Probably a lot of things, ESPECIALLY the gas prices.<BR/><BR/>But it's looking like there are some really really <B>really</B> exciting seasons coming up next year for EVERYONE, so maybe that'll bring 'em out in droves...or people will start to carpool more...or both.

I wish it was selling more, but I have a feeling that it is not about the show but about the gas prices. When we opened the show the price was $3.00 a gallon and now we are almost at $4.00. And it is quite the drive out there. And of course when this happens the first thing people cut back on is entertainment.

I was thinking about trying to convince his parents that a burlesque show would be the perfect thing for this transitory birthday but I don't think they'll go for it. Any other MBB shows on the horizon?<BR/><BR/>I overheard Scott talking this past weekend about how twisted Veronica's Room is.

I think that means I have to go!<BR/><BR/>Also (and I know this hearkens back to the "love fest" thing from way back, but I must!): I heart Amy Berlin. Granted, I've only met her a few times (maybe just two), the first of which pretty recently when we were both judging one of the high school one-act competitions...but yeah. She's great.<BR/><BR/>I'm there!Thespis' Little Helperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916895788691907962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-57724320506994390292008-05-26T22:49:00.000-04:002008-05-26T22:49:00.000-04:00I first stumbled across Veronica's Room in college...I first stumbled across Veronica's Room in college. In fact, used a number of Veronica's monologues. It's a really neat script. Looking forward to seeing it done in Richmond.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the MATTRESS plug.

It's quite an edgy, adult thriller and a bit of a departure for CAT. It'll be interesting to see how CAT's loyal audience responds (it's CAT's first ever "adult language and content" disclaimer, if memory serves! -- although a couple other shows certainly would have merited one : ))!! And Veronica's Room features performances that will knock you out by Scott Melton, Rebecca Muhleman (soon to be seen in Richard III!!), Jonathan Hardison, and Tony Cacioppo. Opens May 28 and runs thru June 14.<BR/><BR/>AND I saw Once Upon a Mattress at Swift Creek this weekend. If you haven't seen it yet, treat yourself. Funny, sweet, charming, lovely voices, and some fantastic performances! Not sure when it runs til, but I think it's closing in June sometime.<BR/><BR/>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-34904239607500292012008-05-26T01:50:00.000-04:002008-05-26T01:50:00.000-04:00Not at all related, but felt the need to say "Go s...Not at all related, but felt the need to say "Go see some shows!" <BR/><BR/>Saw The Seagull at Henley Street on Friday (affirms my previous comment about Mr. Ryan). Shows some incredible growth of a company! Henley is sure to become one of the big players in Richmond theatre if they keep going on this trajectory! Check it out! Then you can say "I saw them when!!!"<BR/><BR/>Saw The Two Svengalis at RTP on Saturday. Had a great time. Affirms my love of Nancy McMahon! And Kirk Morton was the finest I've seen him! Kudos!<BR/><BR/>Saw Greater Tuna today (yeah, I know...I really need to get a hobby outside of the theatre, but I can't help myself). Go see it! I laughed so hard so many times! Two incredibly wonderful people doing some fantastic work with three INCREDIBLE dressers (they really are) and a FANTASTIC stage manager (gotta give the shout out to the Jacquie O!). It's really a laugh riot!<BR/><BR/>Also excited about Reefer Madness opening at the Firehouse on Thursday. Really great feature in the RTD about it today.<BR/><BR/>Go see some theatre!!!! (And have a beautiful Memorial Day)Thespis' Little Helperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916895788691907962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-9037547496818307452008-05-24T04:22:00.000-04:002008-05-24T04:22:00.000-04:00It is exhausting to be "on" all the time...it's wh...It is exhausting to be "on" all the time...it's why I have virtually no social life. :)<BR/><BR/>And honey, there's nothing small about the consolation you'll get if you come to see the MBB show at Studio X!! :DAngelika HausFrauSkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02016376514778957706noreply@blogger.com
