source First I have to tell you about the Manatee Performing Arts Center. Easily the nicest theater I’ve ever been in. It has two theaters, a small theater that is sponsored by the local Kiwanis Club. Didn’t get to learn how big it is. The main theater has 300 to 350 seats – all with great views of the stage. Ticket was $30 6th row center. The further back or off to the sides you sit, prices are less.

http://booksbycarolinemiller.com/tag/blockchain/ The theater is magnificent. A full fly lets them lower and raise sets, tons of lighting and lots of room on the wings. There were probably five times as many big prop pieces as we had in Spamalot.

watch Now to The Full Monty: I really liked it but it was long : 7:30 to 10:20 with one 20 minute intermission.

Tramadol 100Mg Buy Online The humor was funny, there was very little dancing and what there was was more like basketball moves than choreography. Most of the songs helped to move the story along but some just seemed to be just stuck in to fill the time.

Tramadol Uk Buy The location was changed from England to Buffalo. It lost a lot in the change: In the movie, the mine had closed down, leaving the whole town in trouble. In the musical, a factory had shut down leaving a bunch of guys out of work but they didn’t want to take lower paying jobs to support their families. Made them seen kind of whiny.

go here The show had 12 men and 7 women with a little doubling of the smaller roles. One has to be a body builder who can pull off being a professional stripper, one has to be black and the others can be whatever. Among the 6 principals, three had good bodies, 2 had not good bodies and one was very obese.

Tramadol Online Overnight Visa At the very end, they are standing facing away from the audience, naked (When the Calendar Girls did it they were nude, these guys were naked). They take their hats off, cover their privates and turn to face the audience then drop the hats. As they drop the hats, the lights go out and four very bright lights blind the audience so all we could see of the guys was like they were cut out of paper – we could see the outline but no detail.

Order Tramadol Cod Overnight As a director, I thought the last moments went too fast. From the time they started to turn towards the audience until the final blackout was just 2 or 3 seconds. I taught it could have been slowed down considerably without the audience seeing something they shouldn’t have.

By Tramadol Online All in all a fun show.

Tramadol Cheap Cod Heading South in a few minutes to see a Neil Simon play tonight.

Buy 100Mg Tramadol Online Still having fun.

April 21, 2017 — Play: The Art of Murder

here Later that night:

https://www.receitas4dummies.com/tcfrp1ni023 Yep. Same theater

enter Interesting point before the show starts: They have both a Board of Trustees and a Board of Directors.

click here The trustees are more honorary positions and are expected to donate/raise money. The directors run the business. There are 6 trustees and 11 Directors plus 4 officers listed with the Trustees. I need to find out how the Trustees are selected. (Elected or appointed).

https://richmonddoha.com/y7u4kradbb Very heavy smell of incense. The lady next to me or somewhere else???? During the show it changed from incense to licorice.

Buying Tramadol Online Legal The play tonight was written by Joe DiPietro. Several years ago we did one of his plays “Over the river and through the woods” with Bill Gincig, Bill Hagen, Bev Leyman, Jan Claussen and two younger actors who have left the island. The script was very good. He also wrote “I love you, you’re perfect, now change” which was a musical they did at orcas center. Melinda was in it. “The art of murder” isn’t one of his better scripts. I have a copy if anyone wants to read it.
Opening night 100 people in a 264 seat theater.
At first I thought they were doing it as a melodrama – everyone was over the top. But it wasn’t. The acting was just not good. I blame it on the director. The blocking was far better than Dixie Swim Club (which I saw there two years ago) but there was still too much chorus line: the actors stand in a straight line facing the audience and saying their lines.

Tramadol Online Mastercard The audience seating is 11 rows of 24 seats with a large aisle right down the middle of the audience and on each end so you have a lot of people sitting past the sides of the stage.

source site The stage is probably 40 to 45 feet wide but no deeper than the Grange stage. They used old fashioned muslin flats that shake when someone opens 0r closes a door.

http://lamateliane.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1746200291.9206020832061767578125 There were very few laughs during the play. Even lines that were meant to be funny didn’t come across as funny. Part was the delivery but I find it hard to laugh when someone is murdered.

source site They had an opening night reception with free wine and munchies but I didn’t stay.

Cheap Tramadol Uk You get tomorrow off – I’m visiting several cousins then back to it on Sunday. I’m going to the early bird dinner theater sunday – dinner at 4 then show at 6 so everyone can be home and in bed by 8pm. I’ll be one of the younger people there.

Tramadol Online Mexico I can start this before I see the show.

https://www.sugardoodle.net/6l0q8gges I hit the road this morning at 6;30. Got to the hotel at 3:00 – 10 minute break every two hours to stretch my legs.

go I read for a while then took a shower and head out for dinner. I put the theater name into my phone for directions and it reminds me that I was there in March of 2015. Sometimes I hate my phone. I swing by the theater on my way to dinner and yep, I remember it. I saw Dixie Swim Club there. Several years after we did it. It broke my heart. The give women stood in a row facing the audience and delivered their lines. The give women had talent but the direction was terrible. I wanted to jump up and yell ” don’t look at us, look attendance​ each other and let each other in.

enter I would love to direct something there.
Let you know how it goes tonight

April 20, 2017 — Play: They’re Playing Our Song

Cheapest Tramadol Next Day Delivery The play tonight was written by Neil Simon.  According to the curtain speech it details the actual relationship between Marvin Hamlish and Carol Sager.

There’s a lot to be said about it – both good and bad.  It’s a two level set.  The lower portion looks like a vertical keyboard.  The upper portion had the five piece band and a projection on the right.  The projection showed what would be seen out the window (NYC) for most of it but the projection was the same sunny day even when there was thunder and rain.
On the lower level there is a obviously fake Grand piano which the Marvin guy played.  It was weird watching the guy in the band playing the piano when the actor on stage was faking it.
Great lighting with a lot of expensive LED lights.
It was classic Neil Simon – fast paced dialog and lots of one liner jokes.  They singers were good but the music just wasn’t catchy.
Very little choreography.
It was a really, really sweet love story.  It could have been a standard Simon Rom-Com and been even better.  There was only one thing that dated the time period.  They got stuck in their car and didn’t have a phone.
They’re was no real end to the play.  When they left the stage, we thought there was another scene coming but we got the curtain call instead.  Of course it was past 10:30 which should have given us a hint – three hours including intermission.
Definitely worth seeing, maybe not worth doing.
Good night, got a long drive ahead one me tomorrow – from the south east corner to the north west corner.  Seeing a Joe dipietro murder comedy.  I have that script too but wasn’t impressed all that much.
Till then good night

I Hate Hamlet

https://arquine.com/9nwkp8zg It’s actually the name of the play I saw tonight.  I have the script somewhere but it’s mediocre at best.  Saw it at the Sugden Theater in Naples, Florida.

I’d always prefer great acting with a mediocre play rather than mediocre acting in a great play but when you put a mediocre script with less than mediocre acting, even counting lights doesn’t help.
The set was to die for, far exceeding anything I’ve put together.  Lighting was far above average.  Of course they have 380 seats which were 3/4 full at $35 a pop and they run for five weeks with five performances a week so they have a few nickels for the set.
Naples Florida is in the far West of the state, tomorrow I head over to the other side of the state to see “Their playing our song” one of the very few musicals Neil Simon write.  Then on Friday over to Panama City in the far West part of the state then back over to the east side again on Saturday.  Can’t even remember what I’m going to see without looking at my notes (which are in my car).
