From the sublime to the rediculous....

...theatrically speaking, that is.  Last evening a friend and I saw "My Fair Lady" at the Wagon Wheel theater in Warsaw, Indiana.  I have enjoyed every play I have seen in this theater in the round but this one was really sublime; excellent singing and acting and beautiful music.  It was longer than I expected. The first act lasted almost three hours, but it was worth every minute.  

Today I spent nine hours (1:00pm to 10:15pm with a short supper break) at the tech rehearsal for the play I'm in that begins this coming weekend.  It is a sometimes rude and crude slapstick comedy called "My Dead Clown."  It was a long day but really very interesting to see how special lighting, sound effects, and smooth scene changes can enhance a production.

It's hard to imagine any two plays more different that "My Fair Lady" and "My Dead Clown" but variety is good, right?
