Runs with knives!
Tonight was final dress of DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I’m directing for Falcon Theater. After scurrying working on a few last-minute details, I was ready for the rehearsal. Our friends Rob & Todd sat in on the show, Todd snapping tons of digital pictures…
Finally! Tonight was the opening night of DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I directed for Falcon Theater. After a quick dinner of a Turkey, Cheddar, and Sliced Egg sandwich & some chips from nearby Dixie Chili, I headed to the theater and found lots of…
Tonight was the second night of DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I directed for Falcon Theater. Before the show, we went to dinner with Jay to a Russian restaurant in Blue Ash called Baltic. It’s a sparse little restaurant, barely anything more than tables and a bar with a television playing Russian DVDs.
Despite the complete lack of ambiance, the restaurant is cozy. Our server was knowledgable about the items on the menu. We started with perogies and salad, then moved into entrees of stuffed portabello mushrooms, chicken kiev, and little dumplings that Jay got. Everything was very good, hearty, and filling. A nice send-off to the second night of the show, which went very well.
Tonight we had a brush-up rehearsal of DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I directed for Falcon Theater. A brush-up is a type of rehearsal where the actors get together and go over their lines and any specific action in a show after they’ve been off…
Tonight launched the second weekend of DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I directed for Falcon Theater. I had a few errands to run after work (pick up some new peppers — the ones from last week were looking a little sad), get dinner, drop off…
Tonight was closing night of DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I directed for Falcon Theater. I spent Saturday morning doing chores around the house and working on my computer. Dinner was in fact a very-late-lunch at Wendy’s, where I had a cheeseburger and a baked potato.
Around 6:30, Wendy & I headed down to the theater. The show went very well, and was attended by a large and appreciative audience. It was, I believe, our best audience and the actor’s best performance. We certainly closed on a strong note. Afterward, our House Manager informed me that this was the season’s best-selling show.
The cast, crew, and I went for post-show drinking and merriment to Claddagh Irish Pub in Newport on the Levee.
An unexpected change of plans tonight… I was scheduled to have GARDE MANGER class at Cincinnati State this evening. When I arrived at the school’s kitchen, it was apparent that our food cart — the requisitioned food items that we’re to use in the class —…
