    Watching the performance on Sunday made me think I probably enjoy Shakespeare's comedies a bit more than the tragedies. Though, in fairness, Measure for Measure is the only other comedy I have seen.

    By the way, a few years ago we saw Macbeth performed in Daheny Park by what seems like a similar company. Any chance you were involved with this also?
    I produced that one too although it was with a different company, It's a Fiasco. I played one of the minor lords (Angus), Lady MacDuff, and Lady M's servant in the Lady M sleepwalking scene. Dream Role Players grew out of It's a Fiasco. IaF kinda split into two groups, with the other one, Praxis Stage, continuing to do outdoor Shakespeare in Cambridge. They did Henry IV (both parts in a combined production), Julius Caesar, and Hamlet pre-pandemic. I don't think the company has survived the pandemic. Dream Role went off to Medford for a couple of years but has come back to Cambridge where the neighbors are more receptive to our mission.

    We did have some doubling up by a couple of actors in As You Like It. We tried to color code things - all of the Court costumes were business-like and shades of grey. Our fun catch phrase for the switch to the Forest of Arden was "No ties in the forest!". There is, however, the complicating factor of Rosalind disguising herself as a boy and the fact that all of the people who get exiled from Court changed clothes once they went to the forest and then changed clothes again for the wedding scene. Four of the actors played both a Court character and an Arden character and they changed clothes too, so, if one doesn't know the play very well, I can understand not knowing who people are. Our costumer thought it was all too much, to be perfectly honest. For next year, I will have the booklet contain a plot synopsis and a better detailed list of who is who and which actors will play multiple roles.

    The problem with hot dogs today is they all get “participation trophies”. Nobody celebrates excellence anymore and the results are every darn hot dog thinking it’s something special. It’s not. Some of them are just cobbled up bits of pig anus.

    I don’t understand the stores that want me to hunt for someone to give my money to in exchange for goods. What sort of reverse psychology bull crap is afoot there?

    Yes, as in lawn discoloration. Getting a fungicide tomorrow.

    I am a very social creature, but definitely recharge when I'm by myself.

    Yes, only occasionally. People are the best, except for the occasional times when they are the worst.
