'Waiting For Godot' opened last night - we wowed 'em!

[Zomby Woof]

The difference between rehearsals and a real live performance with the electricity only an audience can provide... very sharp indeed.

6 weeks of rehearsals have paid off. This production is a winner.

If you happen to stumble into northern Arizona tonight, or next Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, do yourself a favor and buy a ticket.

I love the devotion the locals here have to live theater. I was buying coffee at Late For The Train (a local coffee joint) this past Monday, and was recognized again for my work in 'A Christmas Story' 3 months ago. Who needs coffee with a buzz like that? ;-)

Next venture... Long Beach, California, and its community theater, by year's end. California, here I come. :D

(For fans of this play, I am playing Pozzo, hence the sig line)

3. Thanks, stellanoir!

I love "R&G" too, lol.

[LynzM]

2. Cool!

Glad it went well! I wish we could get down there to see it. Meh :(

So is California a definite at this point? Inquiring minds need to know!

[Zomby Woof]

4. I have set a deadline

So that my stay in Arizona last 2 years almost to the day. :-)

I was born in southern California, so in effect, I am going home, full circle, after years of wandering and exploration. The adventure will continue of course, as I stand in the shadow of Los Angeles. :-)

:hi: Lynz!

[LynzM]

5. Excellent

I'm really happy for you guys! :bounce:

Oh, and :hi:! Haven't seen you around much, you must be really busy with this show, and... other things ;)

[Zomby Woof]

11. Busy, yes... and...

I picked the right time to take a break from here, seeing what is in the news and so forth. Sheesh! :D

[Book Lover]

6. Great!

Glad to hear it. And I hope you can manage a trip up to the Bay Area when you're back in SoCal :-) We'll make it a meetup!

[Zomby Woof]

8. I am up for any meetups!

Haven't really had one since I lived in Seattle, and they are always great fun. :hi:

[flamingyouth]

7. Great news

By the way, nini and I are targeting late July for a Seattle visit. I definitely still want that DU meetup! :hi:

And if Fenris is there, more the better!

[flamingyouth]

13. Glad you're coming up!

I'll be here for sure. Fen will be in summer school then. This distance thing sucks, but at least he's coming up in May for three weeks. :hi:

RL

[Zomby Woof]

12. Thanks RL!

But please make sure to clean up the lizard poop, I almost stepped in it! ;-) :D

[RetroLounge]

14. Well, at least the piles are easy to step over

unlike your Yak Droppings...

RL

[Zomby Woof]

16. But yak dung is PRACTICAL!

This dwelling is made out of it, no shit! I mean, yes shit! :D

[RetroLounge]

18. Looks like a big stinky muffin

There's a reason the guy in on the OUTSIDE...

RL

[Zomby Woof]

20. But he's smiling!

He at least appreciates its lean-to value! :D

[RetroLounge]

24. and the shade it provides!

RL

[Zomby Woof]

26. obviously, he is upwind!

Sodbustin', Mongolian-steppe style!

[RetroLounge]

27. obviously

RL

[Zomby Woof]

28. Imagine how many lizards it would take

Thousands! And even then, leaning on it would mean certain collapse. x(

[RetroLounge]

29. The lizards live inside the Yak Dung Muffin House

Quite the symbiotic relationship they have...

RL

[nini]

[Der Engel der Katzen]

19. Congrats! Where will you play in Long Beach? I'll tell all my friends!!

[Zomby Woof]

21. The plan is their community theater

And take it from there...

Thanks, by the way! And I will let you know once that bridge is crossed. :hi:

[Der Engel der Katzen]

25. I hope you get to play the Carpenter Center.

I was a member of their resident chorus for 7 years. It's a fabulous venue.

But Long Beach has a bunch of other really great theatres. Can't wait to tell my friends, Go see ZombyWoof!

[Zomby Woof]

30. Pimpin' For Godot

[dancing kali]

31. Godot is a used car salesman.

That's what the techs decided when working on a production in university. I was the stage manager - and had to call the show from backstage... there were 9 cues to call. Do you know how boring that show is when you are sitting backstage in the dark waiting to operate the ropes to change the sun and moon? I fell asleep at my desk during one matinee... awakened only by the sound of my lighting op's voice in my ear over the headsets. I adored that show until that production. By the way, it was an all female cast except for Lucky.

Congrats on the good opening - I hope the run goes well.

Neck and leg break, toi toi, merde!

[Zomby Woof]

33. This set is simple and stark

The flats and the stage are gray, even the tree. The bench is more like a gray rock.

The lighting changes from white to blue depending on the scene.

Thanks for the well wishes too! :hi:

[SarahB]

32. Wonderful!!!

Here's to California as well! :toast:

And a SarahPopulistBelleMom hug just because I like you so much. :hug:

[Zomby Woof]

34. Woohoo! A SarahMomPopulistBelleHug!

:bounce: :hug: Thanks sweetie!
