Thanks very much, all of you, for reading my blog and leaving comments!

I just realized that I wrote “Sleeping Beauty” when I meant “Snow White,” so I changed it. SW bonks her head on the low (imaginary) ceiling of the dwarves’ home.

Stephen and Tam, I loved the costumes and makeup that you did for the American Cabaret Theatre’s youth production of “The Wiz.” I saw that show Saturday night and will soon write about it, too.

Thanks again for reading.

Hope Baugh’s review of TRANSFORMATIONS is lovely. I saw the show on opening night. The use of movement, theatrical simplicity, and the choice of material – there’s only one word for the combinaton of these elements – THRILLING!!!

Thank you Hope for that beautiful review. Aristotle was right, good theatre is cathartic, and, as you said, ShadowApe’s work goes straight for the solar plexus. Then there’s the magic of these stories’ presentation–mixed with the torment of Sexton and the creative power of stunning professionals–which you conveyed so faithfully. Also as you indicated, this play is the one not to miss.

Jesus you make me want to see this. I am ashamed to say I have not been to a Shadowape production since the orginal Gorey Stories. I wonder if they still have the great Halloween parties
