I'm so glad that you saw the many layers of subtext and complexity that I tried to achieve with my Big Bunny.<BR/><BR/>Your cell phone experience was quite amazing as well. I must say, I got a good chuckle out of your story. It is absolutely astounding to me that a person could be that dense. How could she have thought that nobody would notice? Or did she even care? <BR/><BR/>In the end, all we can do is our part, be it as a Big Bunny or a fine actor / writer such as yourself. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work! I thoroughly enjoy your blog!Jennifer Kirkebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334449009178043995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121746665329719851.post-73899639245907163582009-02-16T16:20:00.000-08:002009-02-16T16:20:00.000-08:00As a friend and life long student to Old Lady Bunn...As a friend and life long student to Old Lady Bunny, I felt it necessary to interrupt my homework for a short moment to write this down. <BR/><BR/>Many times I find it odd that people have a hard time following directions. Being the soundboard operator for “Goodnight Moon,” I can honestly say that there is no way any member of audience did not hear this warning before the show. I am so depressed that common courtesy has gone out the window for these few snap-happy jerks who miss so much of they show by viewing it through a camera lens (or back of a digital camera). Have we seriously lost the ability to follow directions, a skill taught by every parent and teacher?<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, I do believe many people think that, since this is only a children’s theatre company, we, the employees, do not take the “no flash photography” rule seriously. IT IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Just like the Guthrie, Orphium and Ordway, the rules and consequences still apply!<BR/><BR/>It was a wonderful show and should be remembered as a wonderful SHOW, not a glossy print on the refrigerator!David G(ollum)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14548408568746997825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121746665329719851.post-20127144831772710162009-02-16T12:25:00.000-08:002009-02-16T12:25:00.000-08:00I saw your Big Bunny on stage and you were terrifi...I saw your Big Bunny on stage and you were terrific. Intimidating and overpowering...yet sensitive, lovely and rather coy. <BR/><BR/>Pictures in the theatre are maddening. You captured the essence of it beautifully in your post. Allow me to share my cell phone "experience" while on stage a few years ago:<BR/><BR/>Working at a major theatre in Minneapolis, the play had just begun. I was downstage with another actor in one of the play's opening scenes. Suddenly, a woman's cell phone begins ringing. She answers and says the following: "Hello...oh hi Harry...what...yeah, we're at the show...WHAT?? WOULD YOU SPEAK UP..." -- <BR/><BR/>It was at this point, we stopped the scene and began staring at her. The audience was roaring their disapproval of HER...but she continued on... "No, I have no idea what time the play ends..." <BR/><BR/>At that point, the actor I was working with looked down at her and said "About 10-o'clock." This time, the audience roared their approval of HIM, she sheepishly closed her phone and noticeably shrinked down in her seat a few inches.<BR/><BR/>So...you did the RIGHT thing!! BRAVO!!! The theatre is not one's home living room...it is not a movie theater...it is not the mall...IT'S A THEATRE!!!<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, you gave the offenders a much-needed education in theatre etiquette.Christopher Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417572962567105053noreply@blogger.com
