Into the Woods

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:21:35 -0700

We went to see Into the Woods at an outdoor amphitheater as performed by Sandstone Productions. I like this theater. There's something about watching theater outdoors that seems very real. After about two hours on the stone benches, though, a...

The Foreigner: Technical Problems

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:05:35 -0700

The Foreigner has a scene in it where a guy in a Ku Klux Klan costume has to "melt" into the floor. This is done by lowering him into the floor through a trap door while his sheets stay above. The stage of the theater where TEA performs doesn't...

Playbill Committee

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:04:43 -0700

The theater group I've been involved in is now having weekly script readings to pick its shows for the 2009-2010 season. Yes, they pick them out a year and a half ahead. They do this because they operate partly off of a grant from Conoco-Philli...

The Show Went On

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:42:18 -0700

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 ...

Scotch on the Rocks

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 22:30:13 -0700

I went on stage tonight, dressed as a woman (a really ugly one, at that), and made a fool of myself to make the audience laugh. This was opening night for "Love, Sex, and the IRS." They did laugh, so... mission accomplished. It would have reall...

Wine: Azzurra Chardonnay and Acting

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:09:40 -0700

I don't know that I've ever had an Italian Chardonnay. Now I have. That's about all I can say. I'm not particularly fond of chardonnay, anymore - it all tastes the same to me, and this didn't stick out. Still, it was very drinkable, and that'...

i got shot

nobody@vox.com(Lindsay Erika) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:43:11 -0700

Made you look. I finally ended my hiatus this weekend when I began shooting a short film. (I would have mentioned it sooner, but I had to wait out the jinx period. It seems that if I talk about good things too soon, I jinx them out of happening. T...

Urinetown: The Musical

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 22:40:26 -0800

I went and saw Urinetown: The Musical tonight at the college. This is a Broadway musical produced locally with local talent, and I am very happy to yell KUDOS to my good friend Laura for doing an outstanding job as Little Sally. Laura, you stol...

The play is over! Thursday was the pickup rehearsal, with performances Friday night and last night. We struck the set last night, so Friday night we had the cast party at my house. Last Sunday was the matinee performance, and I took my camera i...

Movie: Finding Neverland

nobody@vox.com(Paxton) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 22:13:50 -0800

Man, I've been busy, and now that I've started rehearsing for the next play even though the current one isn't finished, it's likely to be like that for a while. A few nights ago, Strix and I watched Finding Neverland. Johnny Depp plays J M Barri...
