Runs with knives!
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…
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 for a few days. It gets the actors’ lines back into their mouths as well as their brains.
Before rehearsal, Angel & I went to Casual Chinese (lousy name, eh?) for Pad Thai and Shrimp in Lobster Sauce. This poorly-named place has what I consider to be the best Pad Thai in the city.
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…

Little Shop of Horrors tells the story of a downtrodden nerd named Seymour Krelborn who lives in the basement of his workplace, Mushnik’s Flower Shop in Skid Row. Mr. Mushnik treats Seymour like dirt, causing Seymour to bemoan his fate: “I keep askin’ God what I’m for, And He tells me ‘Gee, I’m not sure.’â€
The other employee at the “God and customer forsaken store†is the blonde bimbo Audrey, with whom Seymour is hopelessly in love. Audrey secretly fantasizes about living a life with Seymour as her husband, but doesn’t reveal her dreams because her boyfriend, a sadistic dentist named Orin Scrivello, D.D.S, wouldn’t like it. For Seymour, everything is about to change. A strange and exotic plant he recently bought is beginning to blossom into something the likes of which no one has ever before seen…

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 —…
