Gremlins

I have two friends flying in to see the play. Kris flies in from California tomorrow night, and Ed from Virginia on Saturday. Scott is also hoping to make it, although his broken leg may make it difficult.

Tonight was a gremlins night. I forgot the keys to the theatre -- which, at rush hour, meant they were an hour and a half away. We got replacement keys at the last minute, but had to hold house 10 minutes and were off our pregame routine. The prop cabinet had been broken into, everything rifled through, and the toy gun stolen. With no key to lock the dressing room, Lois, the Assistant Director, had to stay down there all show. And the water sound came out of the back speakers, instead of the front ones.

Nonetheless -- big house, decent show. The actors had had three days off, yet the show was intact.

It's a mystery, as the fellow says.
