What a weekend at Lemon Bay Playhouse in Englewood! We performed our Holiday Show there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and had great audiences all three nights.
It's such a treat to perform on the Playhouse stage in a real theater setting. We loved every minute, but the BEST moment was on Sunday when several of our "fans" (translated; "friends") showed up in their OFFICIAL 'DIVA AND THE ITALIAN GUY' T-SHIRTS. We were absolutely overwhelmed. We couldn't believe they had gone to all the trouble of going out and buying t-shirts, downloading our photos from our web site, and somehow getting them on the shirts. Then they all showed up wearing them. What a surprise. I just can't say enough. We are absolutely humbled by the effort and devotion that went into this project. So thank you again and again to Regina (whose idea it was), Karen (who transferred the photos to the shirts), Star (who graciously traded earrings with me by the way, because hers went so nicely with the necklace I was wearing. Then the dear heart let me keep them!), Dell & Pat (who have a perfect attendance record at our LBP shows) and our upstairs neighbor, Ali. God Bless you all. You REALLY made our day, our week, and probably our whole year.
Many thanks to all at Lemon Bay Playhouse who make our experience there such a joy. To Executive Director Jim Hanushek at the helm (and he always comes up with such glowing words about us too), to his wife Ann (whose generosity never fails as she offers up SINFUL BROWNIES AND TO-DIE-FOR OATMEAL COOKIES), and of course, many thanks to Bob LaSalle, Production Manager whose help is SO appreciated during the show, and during our set-up and tear-down.
We can't wait till next time. But it can't possibly top this magical weekend.
BE SURE AND GO TO THE LEMON BAY PLAYHOUSE WEBSITE AND SEE WHAT'S COMING UP. Their theater productions are not to be missed.
