Random bits of madness
Howdy folks. I'm freshly back from Visalia from visiting my chums Tim and Anne. (Great people) Where I got to go to an Italian restaurant called "La Dolce Vita" (After the Fellini film perhaps? Or you know, maybe he just wanted to call his restaurant "The Sweet Life.")
Anyway, the dude totally cooks whatever he feels like cooking for you while you relax in a gangsta-like setting with 70s beads and stuff hanging from the ceiling.
Nice.
Per a question someone asked about my recent theatre viewing, I saw "Animal Farm" at The Empty Space. Interesting. You should read the story first! But good stuff. Felt sorry for the actors who had to be hunched over the whole play while they played animals. It was very minimalist (but it's the Space. They gotta work in minimalism, knowhaimsayin'?)
I also saw "Kiss Me Kate" at Stars. Sweet, kinda corny, but sweet. And I've been trying to get to see Enrique's "True Tales" (that 11 p.m. time the Space has for late night shows is killing me) and "Play It Again, Sam" at the BCT before they close the show this weekend.

Please, no - PLEASE, do go see Play it again, Sam at BCT this weekend. Friday and Saturday are the last two performances of their three weekend run and it is a great show! BCT gets over looked sometimes, but between this and the upcoming Rocky Horror, maybe that will change? This cast was great to watch and I swear, I'm not a member of BCT, a cast member, family or friend. Just someone who likes theater around town. :)

This show is FANTASTIC! Anyone who misses it is a fool! David Lollar is one of the best directors in this town (remember CABARET?), and along with BCT, has been overlooked. Hal who?

Hey now. Let's be nice. I like both David and Hal. So no "hateration up in this dancerie" as Mary J would say.
But, anyhoo, David asked that I pass this note along to the previous anonymous poster. (He's not free to blog right now.)
David: hank you for the kind words. It's nice to be appreciated and I'm grateful that Bakersfield can enjoy my work. Since I had to take over a role in KISS ME KATE, Julie Jordan Scott deserves as much credit as I do for this production. But don't slander Hal, he's a fine director in his own right.
Thanks again.
