Hmmm. Well, mea culpa! I could have sworn someone in the LTE didn’t like it but maybe it was in response to the meme.
Congrats on the show! Good audiences?

I liked going to the malls around Christmas time for the general atmosphere but not the shopping experience. I'm enjoying this new remote world where I only have to leave the house on my terms.
I am having the worst day I have ever had at work. Otherwise, things are going well!
I would have to say yes. The theater required proof of vaccination or a negative covid test for admittance and you had to sit through 2 1/2 hours of Shakespeare in a mask, so, getting 40+ people night was considered a success. We had over 60 for one performance. Not even all theater people love Shakespeare. However, among the theater people, it's all or nothing. There are no casual Shakespeare fans in the theater crowd - if you're into Shakespeare, you are a total Shakespeare geek.
The hubby came closing night and stayed for the cast party which went until 3am. He told me that he had purposefully not reminded himself of all the details in Romeo & Juliet so the story would feel fresh when he came to see it. He remembered the basics but the big surprise for him was how important Friar Lawrence (the part I played) is towards moving the plot along.
We finished 'The Americans' last night, and now I'm very much in "...uuuuhh...now what?" mode.
Annual holiday viewing will tide us over for the next several weeks, but after that, we're not sure what we'll dive in on next.
Recommendations welcome, but be aware that I will reject some of them out of hand. Please do not recommend:
- Insecure
- Succession
- Ted Lasso
- Mad Men
The importance of representation notwithstanding, I'm not interested in social drama & navel-gazing à la Succession.
I get the appeal of Ted Lasso but just am not dying to watch it (will likely take the plunge early next year once I subscribe to Apple+ after the new Fraggle Rock drops in January).
Corporate culture and its glorification interests me less than zero, so no thanks to stuff like Succession and Mad Men.
For the record: I recognize that my above outlines are gross oversimplifications of these shows and their deeper messaging, but I need to be interested in the core conceit to get started in the first place.
An old college buddy of mine got banned for life from TJ Maxx for going to one of their stores and dipping his testicles in the glitter.
Pretty nuts, huh?
