Word has reached us that we have two matinees coming up. This Friday and next Monday at 9:30 am we are doing Act I only for school kids. There is a lot of grumbling. But the grumbling isn’t so much about having to do the matinees; the grumbling is about the lack of communication between the Powers That Be and the Company. First we heard some rumors about the matinees and at the Company meeting last night after the show the stage manager told us that he had just learned about them. He had heard the rumors and called Powers That Be to confirm.
This lack of communication seems to be SOP this year. The same thing happened with the Fred Chappell visit and dedication. A lot of people might have shown up to greet and honor Fred if we had known about it longer than two days before it happened. And that too started as a rumor that had to be tracked down and confirmed.
But what the heck do I know? I’m just an actor here.
On June 12 at 2 pm there will be a memorial service for Bob Knowles at Waterside Theatre top of the hill stage left shade area of seats. Haskell has a choir, Perry Turner is officiating and several TLC alum are speaking. If you can attend the show on the 11th we would love to see a full house. The Knowles family will be on row K! Thanks for this blog Don. I am enjoying keeping up (at least what you know) through you. Fantastic! Suzie Knowles Black
