FISCHNALLER UPDATE

SLOOP: Troy, can you describe to me the show you're in today?

TROY: It's good. It's a Scot Augustson play and it's very good. The show is about three strangers who get stuck at an airport and must share a hotel room together.

SLOOP: I overheard you telling Carol (Roscoe) that you would not be wearing a clown outfit when you enter. What was this about?

TROY: Yes, I was just assuring Carol that I would not be wearing a clown outfit when the show started. You see, Chris, I have a bit of a reputation for being an a**hole.

ANNIE LAREAU (while passing by): I agree with this.

TROY: You see, Annie agrees.

*Thank you, Troy! Your candid answers are much appreciated and, I think I can speak for all of us when I say, we look forward to see you, Stan and Allison kick off the new decade with show number one!*

Memorization has Begun

I entered the Allen Theatre (for the first time ever) and all I can say is... wow! It's gorgeous.

Today, the Allen Theatre is the sacred rehearsal space of Nicole Boyer Cochran and her intrepid 14/48 cast (Rob Burgess, Mark Boeker, Rob Jones, Annie Lareau, Kate Parker). Together they are working on Paul Mullin's play, /me misses hyperbaric.

At this moment, the cast is hard at work memorizing the piece, which may or may not have something to do with sand boxes, martinis, the movie Airplane, and an internet chat room. I'm definitely looking forward to this one.
