So much on my mind ...

I'm afraid if I really start here, I may not stop. And I have lines to learn! Things to do.

But I'll go for a few highlights, for now.

First of all, read Amy's blog. Talk about a bad day! Amy, I know you're not much of a hugger, but consider this a well-meaning online hug. :)

The Ovation Awards were this past week. Just the other day. it was the craziest thing: just when I was about to suggest to the Powers That Be at Ark that maybe we might want to stop shelling out money for Ovation registrations when we never, ever, ever, ever see the light of a nomination ... when we got two. Go Team Ark!



This is my size 2 dress, by the by. Ha ha.

Anyway, for the one or two people who might not know this, Dick got a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Play for his work in A DOLL'S HOUSE, and JoAnna got a nomination for costume design for LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES. Photo of the nominees below.



Even though we scored no wins, it was fun to be there. And there was a GREAT group from Ark who came out to support. I think we managed to match volume of noise against some of the bigger companies!!! Heck, the largest group, up in the balcony, even got called out by Garry Marshall. Hee hee.

Goodness knows it could be another six or seven years before we're at that party again ... but I hope not! :)

So that's mainly what's going on ... TWIST opens the 30th, please come see it ... if you didn't get an Ark newsletter today via email, and you want one, drop a line to newsletter@arktheatre.org and we'll take care of that ...

Then of course, there's the WGA strike. And I can't say it better than Douglas did when he put together a little blurb for the Ark newsletter (we're offering $5 tickets for TWIST for WGA members) ... "without the writers, we'd be a company of mimes."
