Cooper: Diane, last night I dreamed I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop, and awoke to discover I was chewing on one of my foam disposable earplugs. Perhaps I should consider moderating my nighttime coffee consumption.

Theater


Wow. I think we went out with a bang. Today was the 9th and final performance of "Sleepy Hollow" at Stage 48 and I think it went pretty well. And the full house audience -- over 80 people -- seemed pretty into it. It ended with the usual sad goodbyes that follow all shows, of course. There was one way that it ended differently from every other show I've been in. There was no strike. Not even a sorting of props and costumes; let alone tearing down the set. At least, I never heard any talk of sticking around for the strike and I didn't see anyone doing so. I'd say that -- more so even than receiving pay -- makes the whole thing feel more professional than anything else.

How do I ever find the time. Well, I did save myself some time by not including links to each of these shows' websites. Hi-five!

I can't tell if there's any connection between a "good" show and how I feel during the show, but I do like it better when I feel great. And tonight, night 6 of "Sleepy Hollow", was the best I've felt physically and mentally before, during, and after the show. (Too bad I don't know how I got into this state.) Most people will probably say that last Sunday's was the best performance -- due to the active audience -- but I do like nights like this one. And the beauty of it is... there's one more weekend to go! Right on, brother.

That's just great. I was thinking now would be a good time to review my TiVo's season pass list -- and I just see that one of the shows has (essentially) been cancelled -- "Smith" -- after only 3 episodes aired. Ah, Ray Liotta, we hardly knew ye. Get back to the big screen where you belong. I guess I'll review that TiVo list another time.

Next week -- Friday the 13th -- "Sleepy Hollow" opens at Stage 48 in Libertyville. Did I mention I got into a show in November? Waukegan Community Players is doing "All In The Timing" the 2nd and 3rd weekends of November. It's a series of one-act comedies. We're doing 4 of them. I'm in "Philadelphia", which, well, I don't know how to explain simply.
