Back on the Field

This picture just makes me long for summer, for baseball...


Just a quick post to say I'm back in the swing of things, and
Scapino! is up and running again. We had a great run of shows last week, and the rib contusion has healed nicely (as of this writing, it only hurts when I sneeze). Thanks to all who sent well-wishes, and happy thoughts. Theatre IV/Barksdale sure could use those positive vibes lately, (as well as your financial support) as they suffered a crazy week, only part of which was due to my nasty little spill. Go to www.barksdalerichmond.org to find out how you can help.

It is sure to be a hectic week, with several jobs coming in on the heels of the good publicity Scapino! has generated. I also auditioned for Barksdale's Production of The Full Monty which promises to be an amazing show no matter who they end up casting. Props to Barksdale for taking a chance with such a saucy show in what can sometimes be described as a 'buttoned-down' city--I'm sure it will be awesome.

In the world of sports, the Red Sox have named co-general managers Jed Hoyer & Ben Cherington, while 'Lucky Larry' Lucchino remains the puppet-master... also at Fenway, there are rumblings of a Theo Epstein re-signing and a possible 'Rocket revival', as the Sox front office has contacted the agents for Roger Clemens to express their interest in bringing him back... Meanwhile the Patriots are quietly 8-5 and getting stronger (Shhh!)... The Celtics and Bruins are swimming in a sea of mediocrity...

...And it is something like 65 days until pitchers & catchers report for spring training...

Until next time...

PEACE TO ALL BEINGS!!!
