Sergeant Wooster's All Man Band

Flashback to this morning - someone came up to Megan Ahiers and said, "The band has a name."

"What is it?"

"Sergeant Wooster's All Man Last Stand Band."

"Our band is all man?" Megan was taken by surprise.

"Apparently it is... I thought we were missing a couple of ladies last night at the Thursday meeting, but apparently not!" said the person who's voice I didn't recognize, and face I didn't see from a distance.

So a strange anomaly seems to have slipped by... and we have no women in this band. The men sound as magical as we expect a 14/48 band to sound!

One For The Thumb!

One of the fun side-stories this weekend involves Doug Willott. He's in the 14/48 band, and this makes him the first person to complete the 14/48 cycle, having tackled all five disciplines. There is no official title for this accomplishment. Megan Ahiers has suggested "The Fister", but it's unclear whether or not that is going to stick... Whatever we call it, it is a remarkable thing for one person to be able to write, direct, act, design, and play in the band. Go Doug!

Even more amazing, Doug did the cycle in five festivals in a row.

Friday's crew takes a break to refuel and relax just for a bit. Actors with scripts in hand, mumbling lines as they start to get off book, directors looking at the day's schedule, planning their afternoons as they enjoy their salads and sandwiches.

a great lunch spread.
