Amphibian Stage Productions

“A triumph” Claire said to me when she walked off stage last night. 

A few things happened yesterday, the first being that the cast and crew assembled between shows for a holiday/Christmas dinner in the trap room.  Roundabout bought a turkey and spiral ham and several others brought side dishes and desserts.  It was heartwarming, and again, all due to the fine planning of Fallon.  During the meal Brad, Curtis, and set up a screening of a 12 minute film we created during the coarse of the run about what we do in the dressing room.  It also showed a few pictures of Times Square and the Selwyn Theater (now the American Airlines, where we perform).  The movie was filled with gags (some good, some not so) and we luckily got Jay O. Sanders to narrate the beginning.  We were hoping for a few laughs but people seemed to genuinely enjoy it.  Jefferson hugged me saying “It was wonderful, thank you.”  He walked away snickering, “what have I been doing with my time”.  In fact, we put up a sign up sheet for copies of the film and by the time we left yesterday 19 people had signed up to receive theirs!  It was all a nice surprise for us, who thought it might be a silly sort of slide-show.  Over the holidays I hope to put the short film on my website if anyone’s interested in viewing.

With great highs come great lows however as we close our show today.  We’ll take our final Broadway bows and then celebrate at Un-Deux-Trois, hosting our closing party.
