Hi, Fran – I sent you an email. I agree the Moby Dick show sounds intriguing!

Hi, Michael – It was great to meet you, too! I very much appreciate your kind encouragement, both here and in the Phoenix lobby.

I loved the John Prine show, too. I agree: artful and compelling!

(Hello in there)Hope –

It was great to say hello to you face-to-face at the Phoenix on Friday night…did you get the (John Prine) reference above?!

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your reporting on theatre in and around Indy. Your energy is contagious and encourages my wife and I to get out and attend more offerings….more often.

Did you enjoy the performance at The Phoenix? I was familiar with John Prine – and, even saw him 5-6 years ago at one of the downtown, outdoor thingies at the Murat – maybe Rib Fest? But, the way his songs were used to tell a cohesive story was very artful and compelling.

You – keep up the good work! Best Wishes –

Michael Davidson

Hi Hope,

Would you by chance be going to Moby Dick Tonight at the IndyFringe Theatre, May 22/Saturday beginning at 7:30 p.m.? I did like to go but not alone. Ellen & company are going on Friday & I’m seeing Patsy Cline then.

I would have loved to have seen him in that show, too, I bet! Thanks for reading and commenting, Jenny.

(And thanks, Ken, too. I just realized that I never commented back to thank you for the compliment. ‘Sorry!)

Hope, I just read your review about “80 Days.” I didn’t realize until this week that I had seen one of the actors before! Jeff Cumings spent several seasons with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. I know why you developed a crush on him! I saw him as the lead in “The Importance of Being Earnest.” A talented man.

Hi, Daniel! Thanks for reading and for leaving a comment! Thanks, too, for your excellent help at the Ticket Office the other day. Talking with you helped my writers’ block, too. ‘See you at th theatre!

Hi Hope,

Just wanted to say it was my pleasure to accommodate you to see A Christmas Carol and am glad you enjoyed the show, I only wish I had known of the option to watch from the Observation Booth like Molly had suggested. I do hope you go and see Love Letters (It is a wonderful production, in which Patrick Clear and Priscilla Lindsay transcend that which is on the page onto the stage), and if you do decide to attend please let me know in advance so I can personally make arrangements here in the ticket office, it would be my pleasure. I enjoyed reading your blog and will make sure I follow up on your writing and blogging. Thanks for the kind words. I hope the show helped remedy the writers block that we all suffer from, from time to time.

Cheers,

Daniel Hoffman

Hello Carla.
I loved watching “Evita”. It was awesome. I don’t remember marble vaults and the staircase, bar, chairs, etc. looked like standard props. The show was excellent. I was very impressed. Eva, Che, and Juan were a hit for the standing ovation that all received. Great theatrical experience.
Best Regards.
Sharon

Hi, Carla! It’s great to hear from you! I remember you not only from our high school Thespian Troupe but also from your fabulous performance in “Graceland” at the Phoenix Theatre years ago. Thank you for reading my blog and leaving a comment!

What are you up to now?

By the way, your leaving a comment here on my “About the Reviewer” page reminded me that I needed to update it, so I did. Thanks for that, too!
