Tequila Blog Post

Technically, one is not supposed to plan to have a Non-Sequitur Thursday post. One begins typing and ends up with one. One being me, of course. I do not know of any other bloggers who have Non-Sequitur Thursday posts. I made it up myself, but there are other things I made up that other people have thought of too. For example, Tequila Mockingbird. For a long time I tried to come up with a cocktail called a Tequila Mockingbird. I wanted it to be dark in color and include tequila. Finally I settled on black coffee and tequila. I found it quite tasty.

Flash forward to 2025 and I am in a play called Four Old Broads on the High Seas at Players of Utica. One of the characters is a drag performer whose lady name is Miss Tequila Mockingbird. It is a great character, and the actor doing the part is having a great deal of fun with it.

Must get an un-blurry photo of Miss Tequila Mockingbird.

I actually have other pictures of Miss Tequila Mockingbird, but they are in a smart phone I forgot to charge, and it takes a long time to get charged enough to use. We’ll call it a preview of coming attractions.

Well that makes another shout-out to the play I am in at least. Performance dates are July 25, 26, and 27 at 1108 State St., Utica, NY. For more information call 315-724-7624.

Picture Me in a Play!

In the play I am in at Players of Utica, Four Broads on the High Seas, my character keeps snapping pictures, much to the annoyance of the other characters. The beauty part of that is, I get some pictures I can use in a blog post. Sometimes I also take a picture when I am not on stage, like this one of our esteemed director:

Doesn’t she look nice?

I take a couple of ussies in the course of the play, some of which definitely turn out better than others. I delete the bad ones, but I will share some of the good ones.

A little blurry, but we’re all smiling!

I loved this shot, because I went to take a picture of me and the fabulous fellow, and my friend jumped right in. It was a great character thing to do.

Another smiling trio!

The one in the middle is actually a stage crew member who was standing in for a cast member who is on vacation. She is a young chick that actually did a great job of playing an old broad. I got her permission to use this picture in the blog post, because I thought it was a good one.

I haven’t said much about the plot of the play, but then I don’t want to spoil anything for local readers. I’m afraid this blog may become All Old Broads All The Time, but you’ll have that. As always, I hope you’ll stay tuned.

Saw One Play, Rehearsing Another

Sunday afternoon I went to the closing performance of Getting Sarah Married, the last production of Ilion Little Theatre’s 2024-25 season. I had a feeling I should have gone the first weekend; then I could have made a post encouraging local readers to go. As it is, now I can only say, it was a very funny performance. I congratulate all involved. Alas that I do not have any pictures of it. I ought to at least have a picture of Ilion Little Theatre in my Media Library, but I do not think I do.

It’s complicated.

I got on my Tablet and found this rehearsal shot shared by a cast member and stole it. It includes all but two of the cast, and I think it shows something of the chaotic nature of the plot.

Today I have other theatre things on my mind. I have to study my lines for Four Old Broads in the High Seas, a play I am in a Players of Utica. Yes, I am one of the old broads, the one that is (a quote from the script) “dumb as a box of rocks.” Yes, it is type casting. It is an extremely silly script, but I imagine it will get a lot of laughs.

Me, doing my stuff.

The director shared this rehearsal shot on one of my Facebook posts. I asked for silly photos to cheer me up. Who, me, be silly? SAY IT AIN’T SO!

Four Old Broads on the High Seas will be presented at Players of Utica, 1108 State St., Utica NY, July 25, 26, and 27, all seats $15. For more information you can visit playersofutica.org
