The 2002 Ovations were wonderful. Theatre LA did a great job putting the gala event together, and Alfred Molina was pure genius, calling out to the audience of 800+, “Are there any theatre people here tonight?” The love in that room was something only theatre people could “get.” And man, was it good love!
Major shout out to my dear friend Faith Salie and the rest of the Colony Theatre ensemble for kicking ass with The Laramie Project. Also, kudos to Taper’s Flower Drum Song, for taking several awards and Road Theatre Company for its multi-award-winning Napoli Milionaria as well as Deaf West’s Big River.
Amazing night filled with joyful actors who may happen to have TVQ, but–much more importantly–who love theatre. Period.
Yay! Faith!!!! Yay! Theatre!!
Love for Theatre

I think I’m now obsessed with leaving you comments. How weird – can’t remember when we last saw each other (!) yet somehow this comment thing seems so much like a REAL conversation.
Can I be your comment stalker?

I would be absolutely honored to have you as my comment stalker. I was so excited to learn how to put the comment function on the BonBlogs and then felt so lonely when no one used them.
Then BrYan fixed my Roxbury Search Engine code. Then you came to say hello. Twice!! Makes me so happy!
The last time we saw each other was in Atlanta in 1994. I had moved back from Los Angeles and we met up at Taco Mac just before I started grad school. At least, I think. Does that seem right to you?
Well, Becca, thank you for commenting. It is my honor to have you on my stalker list. Let me know if I can do anything sweet for you. Want a book about casting directors? Tee hee.
XXOO
