Great to see someone producing "Snoopy!!!". I played Lucy when it was done in Charleston & it's such a fun show. (Not to mention having a lovely ballad in "Poor, Sweet Baby".)
Will you be part of the production team for either of those shows?
Mel, I'm just providing moral support. The director for both shows is my pal Clint McElroy - he also directed First Stage's production back in 2000. (Yet he doesn't look a day older - how does he do it?)
Hey, performing and being creative keeps you young. (Young at heart, at least!) That'll be a great double bill to celebrate 20 years of First Stage.
Hey Mel!
I directed that production of "Snoopy" in Charleston. You will always be the perfect Lucy! Happy Holidays!
Aww..thanks Eddie. We sure had a lot of fun doing that show, didn't we?
"So, did the Great Squash show up?"
"That's Pumpkin!"
Ten years since we did YAGMCB last time???? That makes me feel old :)
Emily, you think it makes you feel old? At least you were a kid at the time - I was in my 40s! (You were in Middle School then, right?)
And let me just say - that was a great production of that show! (Of course, I'm prejudiced.)
