Well...this Thursday is opening night for "Act Now!" the musical. The show is starting gel and the whole cast is getting fired up to do it in front of a real audience.
If there is any way you can get down to the Keys between now and April 2, be sure to get tickets for "Act Now!"

The play, the floor and other things
The play is starting to shape up nicely. I've learned my lines and have most of the singing down pat...now if I could just get those dance steps down...
The cast is great and they've really made me feel welcome. As you know I'm a newcomer. They've been rehearsing this show since November and I only joined the cast a few weeks ago.
I especially want to mention 3 really fine actors that I work most closely with: Marty Dillis who plays "Steve," my best friend, Marilyn Tempest who plays "Cassandra," and of course Rebekah Reilly who plays "Bethany," my girlfriend.
Last night was "Press Night," a dress rehearsal to which the press are invited. We had about 30 people in the audience and they laughed at all the right places. I guess we're doing something right.
As for Queequeg, progress continues but slowly. Bev's 2 sisters are coming to visit in March, so I had to hurry and get the V-berth functional. The main problems we the leaky overhead hatch and the rotten floor. Both have now been fixed and the berth is now functional. Not yet pretty, but at least usable.
Here are a few pictures.
Bev just got back from San Diego where she was visiting her oldest son, Ben and his girlfirend Sarah who just had a baby boy!
