Speaking about beer during the introduction - 

"The most important thing about beer, is no f***ing whining about the beer. Just ask about the beer in a normal voice." - Shawn Belyea

As Alyssa Byer talks about caring for our wonderful space, she requests -

"This building attracts many fruit flies. So please don't leave half full cups of beer lying around Friday night. Drain your beer and throw away the cups."
Jodi-Paul Wooster interrupts Alyssa with a strong, insistent voice -

"Finish your beer!"

The idea of throwing beer down the drains... jeez people. This is 14/48.

Jodi-Paul asked Shawn for an explanation - 

"What is a play?"

Shawn obliges -

"Well... I have an opinion. Others may have their own. But for me, a play has characters, and there is a conflict, and as a result of the conflict, maybe one of those characters undergoes a change!"

Apparently this was a problem last weekend.

Interrupted by Boyfriends

On a mission to head out with Agastya to eavesdrop on rehearsals, I am interrupted by a couple of boyfriends.

Lunch is Served

Megan Ahiers

Actors and directors start trickling into Bullitt to grab a quick sandwich. Jodi-Paul Brown-Wooster picks up a slice of deli meat and offers it to Megan Ahiers.

"Here, this is to help you with your acting."

"Is that ham? Thank you very much", Megan quips.

I got a sense that she wasn't being sincere in her thanks to Jodi-Paul. She might still have been a little peeved when this picture was taken.
