The Show Went On
Last night was closing night. Here's one of the articles that came out opening weekend. I'm not sure how long the link will be good.
There was a review Saturday that said we had them "rolling in the aisles." :->
Something I found surprising was the difference in audiences. The first two nights were great. The Sunday matinee I thought someone needed to go out into the audience and check their pulses. The next weekend, Friday was our best show yet, with about 260 people in the audience and an outstanding response to each joke, then last night, closing night, we were back to performing for a room full of crash test dummies. Go figure.

...sorry Strix, he's coming with me now that he's as close to being a girl as he's ever going to get. ;-)
In all seriousness, congratulations Daryl, you are one of those people, who's example should teach us. You teach us that we should all aspire to stretch our comfort levels, and create, or seize experiences for the things we haven't yet experienced. One of the things I love most about vox is that my friends here teach me so very much.
I just went to see one of my clients productions of little shop.
The production was fabulous with quite a bit of new topical stuff sprinked about and the "usual" audience (70-90 year olds with hearing problems) just did not get it. I was cheering and jumping to my feat and they were just staring.
Comedy is FABULOUS to perform - I'm so glad you had good audiences too.
There is NOTHING better than bringing laughter bubbling forth. (gads that sounds ghastly) You know what I mean. I miss doing improv - where I could adjust what I was doing to turn the blank looks into chuckles.
