pump boys and dinettes

My show opens this weekend, and it'll be a good one. As I said before, I'm both playing the part of L.M. and serving as music director. Other cast members include Pat Kostalnick, Rick Evans, Tim and Diana Tyler, Susan DiDino, and Kim Mihalik.

It runs for three weekends:

              Fri, Oct 12 ; Sat, Oct 13
              Fri, Oct 19 ; Sat, Oct 20 ; Sun, Oct 21
Thu, Oct 25 ; Fri, Oct 26 ; Sat, Oct 27

All shows are at 8:00 p.m., except the one Sunday matinee at 3:00. Tickets are $12 (seniors $10), and you can call the box office at 440-327-2909. Just leave a message and someone will return the call to confirm the reservation.

In addition, this coming Thursday is "preview night," so you can see the final rehearsal for free, which gives us a chance to play off an audience. And there will be playing off, believe me.

It'll be nice having my weekday evenings free again... albeit briefly, before I launch into rehearsals for Thoroughly Modern Millie at Magnificat High School, for which I'm playing in November. But new Bryan Bird 3.0 doesn't mind, because he's being paid very well for this gig, which, combined with Pump Boys, more than makes up for having to back out of the Clague Playhouse Christmas show.

I might write about Bryan 3.0 later, but part of the upgrade isn't necessarily bloggable information... only because I don't like to talk about certain work/career-related issues here, for safety's sake. :)
