Laura Bush, Condi, and Katherine Harris were at my play this weekend

[hobo_baggins]

Its the first time ever I wished I could break character and give them a piece of my mind.

[joneschick]

1. Do tell. What show are you doing? eom

[hobo_baggins]

2. The man who came to dinner...they were there on friday night

the secret service was there sweeping the area...I thought G. W. and Laura were going to show, but I guess it was a girls night out. I wonder how those 3 spend an evening(besides catching a play).

[joneschick]

3. community theatre? this is interesting.

[Misunderestimator]

7. In your OP you said Laura was there... now you say you wish she had been..

I'm confused... :shrug:

[hobo_baggins]

8. huh? im confused too...

I thought gw and laura were going to show, but instead of gw condi and katherine showed up with laura instead.

[Misunderestimator]

12. Ah... So you meant you thought GW was going to be there *with* her...

not that you thought GW and Laura were going to be there. I get it now. Any reviews today?

[hobo_baggins]

13. None yet...usually they're out around midweek

if we even get any, last show i did with this theatre only got 1 review.

[Misunderestimator]

14. Wild... You'd think there would be plenty of coverage if they attended...

or some mention somewhere.

[hobo_baggins]

15. yeah, im hoping them showing up will draw some attention

we shall see.

[Misunderestimator]

16. Where was it? In DC?

[hobo_baggins]

17. alexandria

aldersgate theatre

[Misunderestimator]

18. Wow... with only 250 seats it must have been really distracting to have...

them in the audience. I don't think I could do that without puking on them.

[hobo_baggins]

19. haha, well with all the lights and shit, you can hardly see anyone

which kinda makes it easier. but yeah, its still kinda nerve wracking.

[Misunderestimator]

21. I've played a few off-broadway theaters that had about that many

seats... I had no trouble seeing the audience. They must have been sitting in the front row or some other prime seating though... Surely you saw them?

[hobo_baggins]

22. Nah, I can't see anything past about 5 feet off the stage

but I try not to look out there anyway, people tend to notice when you're scanning the audience instead of acting.

[Misunderestimator]

24. True... that's why I usually looked for people in the audience while I was

offstage... then there aren't any lights to distract. It's really easy to see everyone in an audience that size... don't tell me you weren't curious when you were offstage or during the curtain call at the end to look for them in the audience? I sure would have been.

[hobo_baggins]

25. Yeah, but you can't see people while you're offstage in this theatre

unless you peek through the curtain, which probably would have got me in trouble.

[Misunderestimator]

27. So no one in the cast or crew knew where they were sitting?

Wild. Amazing three such women could blend in so well among 250.

[hobo_baggins]

30. Oh no, Im sure some people knew where they were

I just didn't look. I'd assume they sat pretty close to the front.

[warrens]

29. You couldn't work it out that your character carried

A rocket launcher? "Yeah, this is the way they did it on Broadway. EVERYBODY knows THAT!"

[bertha katzenengel]

4. what's the company's name and the next show and auditions?

i need to perform..........aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Interesting audience, hobo. :hi:

[CanuckAmok]

5. I wonder if they like Arthur Miller.

I somehow doubt the'd connect with his work.

[Roon]

11. I like your sig

There was a store here in Denver that was selling t-shirts with that picture on it. I wish I grabbed it when I saw it.

[Heidi]

28. Strangely, CanuckAmok

I thought your sig monkey has overdosed on Escher. And then I saw that the label said, "Ether," and thought, "Ah. Same diference." :evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

6. What was the show?

On edit I see you said it was "The Man who Came to Dinner"... interesting that there was no press about three such incredibly prominent women being at one play at one time. Wild.

[hobo_baggins]

10. one of the wives of a bush does acting here...

so the bushes come out to see her perform. This is the second time I've been in a show that Laura bush came to see, didn't expect a whole entourage though

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. Where is the play???

I have friends in the DC area who love community theater. As well as the Kennedy Center.

[progmom]

20. Did Laura get up and leave early?

I imagine she would have had to....she was on Larry King Live that night. Which I think broadcasts....live. :shrug:

[hobo_baggins]

23. I didn't hear anything about her leaving early

but I wasn't paying much attention to what she was doing, I just know she was there.

[Heidi]

26. You are _the_ consummate actor.

And all of DU is a stage.

Go ahead and give Laura, Condi and Katherine a piece of your mind though, frankly, I'm surprised you have you've even a morsel (never mind a whole _piece_) of your mind to spare, what with your DOD contracts, plasma-TV watching, strippers you want to slap around, etc.. :eyes:

[hobo_baggins]

31. Well yes, I do stay busy

I'm not sure what your point is though. Or why you feel the need to be so bitter.

[ForrestGump]

32. I know

But the moderators would say that we can't go on together with suspicious minds.

So I'll be quiet.

And get back to my game of Heidi-go-seek.
